Rishi Sunak issued a plea for ‘unity’ amid tensions over the protest
Police are braced for hundreds of thousands of people descending on the capital for what is expected to be one of the largest political marches in British history on Saturday. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak issued a plea for “unity” amid tensions over a pro-Palestinian march set to go ahead on the day the UK marks the end of the First World War.
“It is because of those who fought for this country and for the freedom we cherish that those who wish to protest can do so, but they must do so respectfully and peacefully. Remembrance weekend is sacred for us all and should be a moment of unity, of our shared British values and of solemn reflection.”
“And our job this weekend is to ensure that people are kept safe, and that is what my focus is on.” More than 100 arrests for offences including supporting proscribed organisations and serious hate crime have been made over the last four major Palestinian protests, according to the Met Police. The number of officers on duty in London will be double the usual amount, with 1,850 officers on Saturday and 1,375 on Sunday. An exclusion zone will be put in place using metal barriers covering Whitehall, Horse Guards Parade, the Westminster Abbey Field of Remembrance and other relevant areas, to prevent those on the march from entering the locations.
