| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Coffee House Shots, the Spectator's Daily Politics Podcast. |
| 0:09.9 | I'm Isabel Hardman and this is the Sunday roundup. |
| 0:13.9 | The stabbing of two men in Golders Green on Wednesday was the latest in a series of attacks on the British Jewish community. |
| 0:20.3 | The Prime Minister has since suggested |
| 0:21.8 | tougher action is needed on pro-Palestine protests and the language used on those marches. |
| 0:27.9 | On Sky News, Trevor Phillips asked Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander if the government might outlaw |
| 0:33.7 | certain phrases, such as the chant, Globalise the Intifada. |
| 0:38.9 | Let's come on to a point you're making. |
| 0:44.1 | The Prime Minister's signal that he might want to ban repeated marches and support of Palestinians and to restrict the language used by demonstrators. |

| 1:17.8 | And one of the points I thought it was fair that he made was if people are on protests about events in the Middle East |
| 1:25.3 | and they hear people chanting, globalise the interfaida, which |
| 1:30.4 | I understand for the Jewish community is about direct violence against them. The individuals on |
| 1:38.8 | those marches have a responsibility to challenge it and I think it's right that the police take robust action |
| 1:46.1 | against the use of that language. And I think that's what... That may be a moral gentleman, |
| 1:50.1 | but the police have to act in accordance with the law. The law currently does not say that those words are |
| 1:56.8 | illegal. If the prime minister means this, then you have to make those words illegal. |
| 2:01.6 | Are you going to make those words illegal? |
