Groups from across the UK linked to football disorder are expected to attend the event organised by Tommy Robinson, the Met Police said.
Thousands of police officers will be on duty in central London on Saturday as a protest organised by Tommy Robinson and a counter-protest are set to take place.
A protest organised by ‘Tommy Robinson’ will take place in central London tomorrow afternoon. It will involve a march from Victoria to Parliament Square followed by a film screening and speeches. A counter protest, organised by Stand Up To Racism, will take place in Whitehall.Conditions have been imposed under the Public Order Act requiring all those taking part to form up in an agreed area, to follow a pre-agreed route and to remain in Parliament Square for the subsequent assembly.
More than 2,000 police officers will be on duty on Saturday, policing the protests as well as the Champions League Final at Wembley and related fan events, the force said.The Uefa Champions League Festival, which is taking place across five central London locations including Trafalgar Square, began on Thursday and is set to continue until Sunday. It will be open in Trafalgar Square between 11am and 5pm on Saturday.
“When these groups have come together at previous protests we have regrettably seen violence directed at officers. This precedent unavoidably plays a part in shaping the policing approach, including the number and nature of resources allocated to police this particular protest.
