Hundreds of thousands of pro-Palestine protesters are set to descend on central London today, as almost 2,000 officers brace for the unprecedented security operation.
It is thought that Saturday’s march will be the largest so far, as organisers have predicted half a million people will gather. Protesters will again call for a ceasefire in Gaza during the march, which has been controversial because it coincides with the day of solemn remembrance for Britain's war dead.
Above all, this weekend should be about the selfless bravery of our armed forces. We shall remember them.”Scotland Yard is also planning a clamp down on convoys of Palestine supporters driving through London’s Jewish communities.Specialist traffic officers will be deployed in cars and on motorcycles and public order officers deployed to keep communities safe and to ensure any cars travelling towards the protest do not commit offences.
