October 25th 2024.
Tommy Robinson and his supporters are planning to march through the red shaded area of central London tomorrow. This is in response to the recent arrest of the controversial far-right activist, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. Robinson voluntarily turned himself in to Folkestone Police Station earlier today at 3pm. He has been charged with failing to provide the pin to his mobile phone, under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act.
The authorities in London are bracing for a busy day tomorrow, as Robinson's supporters will be met with a counter-protest organized by the group Stop the War. The Metropolitan Police has stated that both groups will be holding static rallies at the end of their respective marches. Deputy Assistant Commissioner Rachel Williams, who is leading the policing operation, has assured that they are well-prepared to ensure the safety of all participants and to protect their right to peaceful protest.
However, there are concerns about potential clashes between the two opposing groups. The Stand Up To Racism counter-protest, which is expected to draw a large crowd, will be held at a separate location. The United Friends and Families Campaign will also be holding a protest in Trafalgar Square around midday. The police have implemented Public Order Act conditions to ensure that the groups remain at a safe distance from each other.
Commissioner Williams has emphasized the importance of preventing any conflicts or disorder. She has also acknowledged the significant impact that frequent protests in central London have on the police force, who could be otherwise deployed to other important duties. She expressed gratitude for the assistance of officers from other forces, which has enabled them to effectively manage these events while also keeping local communities safe.
