The word jihad has a number of meanings but we know the public will most commonly associate it with terrorism. We have specialist counter terrorism officers here in the operations room who have particular knowledge in this area. They have assessed this video, filmed at the Hizb ut-Tahrir protest in central London today, and have not identified any offences arising from the specific clip. However, recognising the way language like this will be interpreted by the public and the divisive impact it will have, officers have identified the man involved and will be speaking to him shorty to discourage any repeat of similar chanting.

So the bloke calling for jihad is going to be told off like a naughty schoolboy.
The crowd listening to him shouting

Didn't get a mention.
Well, it obviously doesn't mean what you think it means. Even the clever old BBC knows that not one of the people attending those marches supports Hamas but is there only in support of Palestinian civilians. Great reporting.
//Around 100,000 people travelled to central London to show solidarity with Palestinian civilians//
//The Met said it had reviewed a video in which a man can be seen chanting “jihad, jihad” at a demonstration organised by Hizb ut-Tahrir in London on Saturday, and it had not identified any specific offences in the clip.//
Meanwhile the Immigration Minister appears to be at odds with the police. He said //People chanting “jihad” on the streets of London are inciting terrorist violence and should be tackled with the full force of the law,//
For anyone who may be interested, Ḥizb at-Taḥrīr is an international pan-Islamist and Islamic fundamentalist political organization, banned in several countries, whose stated aim is the re-establishment of the Islamic caliphate to unite the Muslim community and implement sharia globally.
