London police said today that they have increased their presence outside the British Parliament after about XNUMX MPs complained of verbal attacks during the increasingly intense Brexit debate.
Police official Lawrence Taylor said the measure was aimed at striking a balance between the rights of protesters, journalists and lawmakers.
He said today that the implementation of additional security measures has already begun.
Police decided to increase their presence after protesters yesterday called Conservative MP Anna Soubri a Nazi as she tried to talk about Brexit in a television interview.
The police are trying to establish whether a criminal offense was committed during that incident.
A spokesman for Prime Minister Theresa May said that she said at the cabinet meeting that this is not the way to conduct a debate in Great Britain.
