ACTORS and musicians have joined union leaders, MPs, peers and campaigners in condemning the police ban on a pro-Palestine march outside BBC headquarters.

The Met Police has gone back on allowing marchers from gathering outside the BBC’s London headquarters on Saturday January 18 due to its proximity to a synagogue.

A statement has been issued by the six organisations behind the national Palestine marches and supported by at least 150 high-profile individuals and organisations.
