Palestine activists have pledged to press on with a demonstration in London on Armistice day, despite the police urging them to postpone the march.
The Met said that senior officers are concerned about "criminal acts" being carried out on November 11 by "breakaway groups intent on fuelling disorder who are attracted by these regular events."Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan said: "The risk of violence and disorder linked to breakaway groups is growing."This is of concern ahead of a significant and busy weekend in the capital.
Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman have both voiced concerns about the march, with the Prime Minister saying on Friday that a demonstration would be "provocative and disrespectful".But Lindsey German, of Stop the War, another organising group said on Monday: "We met the police today and argued that we wanted to march and were determined to go ahead. "We believe that this is a denial of our civil liberties and our freedom of expression.
