Armistice Day

The arrests were for offences including ‘assault, possession of weapons, criminal damage, public order, inciting racial hatred, and possession of drugs.’

The chairman of NPCC said it’s ’really important that the public debate doesn’t feature in our operational decision making' ahead of rally on Armistice Day.

The prime minister’s remark came after Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley rejected calls to ban a large pro-Palestinian protest on the poppy day.

Sir Mark Rowley said the power to ban protests is only used as a last resort, and the threshold to apply for a ban has not been met.

Police urged organisers to ‘urgently reconsider’ over risk of ‘criminal acts by breakaway groups.’ Campaigners called on the Met to resist ‘political pressure.’

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators said the march will avoid the Cenotaph, but the PM said there’s a ‘clear and present risk’ that war memorials could be desecrated.
