Pro-Palestinian protesters have once again been videoed causing chaos in Britain as they stormed a building at the London School of Economics yesterday.
The action came after a judge ruled in favour of the university being able to dismantle their encampment on campus.
A hearing held at the Central London County Court this week concluded with an interim possession order, which requires those attending and enforcing the encampment to leave the premises within 24 hours once that order is served.
The judge stated that the group of protesters are “aware of the difficulties they are causing the claimants”.

He acknowledged that the students maintain the right to protest, emphasising that the right does not “give parties an unfettered right to occupy other parties’ premises with a view to protesting, particularly when they are required to leave”.
Following the court decision, protesters flocked to the site in droves holding pro-Palestine placards and banging drums.
An LSE representative, who addressed the court through a written submission, said the group “may have had permission to enter the building, as they appear to be students, but they did not have permission to enter the building in order to encamp on part of it, nor have they ever had permission to remain there”.
He claimed the encampment posed an “intolerable fire risk”.
