Police cannot ban pro-Palestine march on anniversary of 7 October attacks, Met says
Ground ^ | 10/06/2026

On Wednesday, the University of London Coalition plans a pro-Palestine march through central London, though the Met Police cannot ban the event after failing to identify organizers to request a date change.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner James Harman stated the legal threshold for banning protests is not met because the risk of serious disorder can be managed through conditions rather than prohibition.

Demonstrators must gather at Lincoln's Inn Fields by 12.30pm and follow a prescribed route to Russell Square, finishing by 2pm, with face coverings prohibited and arrests promised for any breach.

Secretary Lucy Powell urged organizers "to show compassion and respect for others by moving it," while SOAS University requested that premises remain safe and inclusive for all students.

The date marks the third anniversary of Hamas attacks that killed about 1,200 people, triggering an assault on Gaza that has killed more than 75,000 Palestinians since October 2023.

Bet they could have figured out how to shut down a patriotic march with the quickness.

“Met Police cannot ban the event after failing to identify organizers”

Interesting. Joe Biden and his DOJ said the same thing about Antifa here in the United States.

“...England really does need to round them up — and ship them out....”

That would take dedicated leadership, a love for one’s country....and balls.
None of which apparently exists in jolly old England these days.
