Met Police Investigates Fake London Mayor Video and Audio Incidents

London police are investigating a fake video circulating on social media that falsely shows London Mayor Sadiq Khan prioritizing pro-Palestinian marches over Armistice Day events. The video has the potential to escalate tensions in the capital, particularly as a large pro-Palestinian march is planned to coincide with the anniversary of the end of World War One. Far-right groups have indicated they will protect the Cenotaph war memorial on Armistice Day, raising concerns about potential violent confrontations. The Metropolitan Police and counter-terror experts are actively investigating the fake video, which is being amplified by far-right groups on social media.
