'Take your free Gaza shirt off'

London's O2 Arena refused entry to a couple because 1 of them was wearing a 'Free Gaza' t-shirt. The 2 asked if they could turn the t-shirt inside out, but were told that they would only be allowed to enter if the t-shirt remained with security. In a comment to MEMO, AEG Europe, which owns the O2 Arena, apologised the couple weren't offered 'an alternative item of clothing' but said such t-shirts are banned as per the venue's 'prohibited items policy' because ‘in our reasonable opinion, [they] may cause danger or disruption to any event or to other visitors’.
