This is the best summary I could come up with:
The organiser of a pro-Palestinian march has insisted it will go ahead on Armistice Day despite police urging groups to cancel their plans.
On Monday, Met Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan issued a statement saying “the risk of violence and disorder linked to breakaway groups is growing”.
“They raised a concern about the possibility of breakaway groups leaving the march but were not able to provide any evidence as to why this risk would be increased on Saturday 11th November,” it added.
On Monday, the home secretary welcomed the statement from the Met Police, saying on X: “The hate marchers need to understand that decent British people have had enough of these displays of thuggish intimidation and extremism.”
Police have said “all powers and tactics” are available, including asking the home secretary to ban Saturday’s march under the Public Order Act if there’s a risk of serious disorder.
“Thousands of officers will be deployed in an extensive security operation and we will use all powers and tactics at our disposal to ensure that anyone intent on disrupting it will not succeed.”
