MORE than 1,000 police from across the country are being drafted into London for Remembrance commemorations.<\/p>\n
They will join around 2,000 Met cops policing a pro-Palestine march through central London after Saturday\u2019s two-minute silence.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The reinforcements from the counties under mutual aid arrangements follows intelligence that breakaway groups could try to provoke trouble.<\/p>\n
There will be an extra 778 regional cops on duty in the capital on Saturday and 288 on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Chief Constable Chris Haward, leading the police response to the trouble arising from conflict in Gaza, said more than 100,000 protestors could be heading for the capital.<\/p>\n
But he said it was impossible to ban the march because the threat of serious violence had to be proved under the law.<\/p>\n
He added that even if a march was barred, police would still not be able to stop a huge crowd gathering in one place.<\/p>\n "You will still expect to have 100,000 people, maybe more, turning up who will then be in a static position," he said.<\/p>\n Mr Haward added: "The threshold (for a ban) is extremely high. It is about serious violence, and not about the words that might be chanted."<\/p>\n Gavin Stephens, chairman of the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC), stressed that protests outside the capital since the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas have been \u201clargely peaceful.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Just eight arrests were made at 67 protests across the country between November 2 and 5.<\/p>\n However, 29 people were arrested over the central London protest last weekend.<\/p>\n Fireworks were thrown at cops and crowds chanted anti-Israel slogans.<\/p>\n He defended Met commissioner Sir Mark Rowley\u2019s right to allow the Armistice Day march in the face of opposition from the Government.<\/p>\n Mr Stephens said: "In policing we need the space to make difficult operational decisions in an independent manner.<\/p>\n "That space is set out very clearly in law in the Policing Protocol Order which was refreshed earlier this year.<\/p>\n "The decisions that we take are not easy ones, but we do so impartially, without fear or favour, and in line with both the law and our authorised professional practice."<\/p>\n Home Secretary Suella Braverman has described pro-Palestine demonstrations as hate marches and accused cops of bias toward left-wing groups over right.<\/p>\n And Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has warned that Sir Mark would be accountable for maintaining order over the weekend.<\/p>\n Mr Stephens said it is "really important that the public debate doesn't feature in our operational decision making."<\/p>\n He said it would "fundamentally undermine" how policing works in the UK.<\/p>\n<\/picture>MARCH SHOCK <\/span><\/p>\n
