The prime minister and home secretary have condemned the march amid fears some protesters could cause trouble in London and deface memorials.
A pro-Palestinian march on Armistice Day is set to go ahead as there's no sign it's reached the threshold for a ban, the head of the Metropolitan Police has said. Met commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said 'people should be very reassured that we're going to keep this away from the remembrance and armistice events'. The prime minister and the home secretary have condemned the march amid fears some protesters could cause trouble in London and deface memorials such as the Cenotaph.
Organisers have said the protest will be 'well away' from the monument, instead going from Hyde Park to the US embassy, and that it won't start until after the 11am silence. Sir Mark said legally there is 'no mechanism to ban a gathering, a static protest' - but that 'if there's a march towards the rally... that march in extremis can be banned'.
