London is preparing for two major demonstrations today following a week of unrest. The Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) will be holding a march in central London, while the “Enough is Enough” campaign group plans a static demonstration along the route of the PSC march.
Special Policing Plan
The Metropolitan Police has announced a special policing plan to manage these events, aiming to ensure public safety and maintain order. Scotland Yard has confirmed that they have been in close communication with community leaders, particularly from the Muslim community, to provide reassurance and listen to concerns.
A Met Police spokesperson said: “While everyone has the right to peacefully protest, the Met will not tolerate violence or incitement of racial and religious hatred. Officers will respond quickly to any crimes, either at the scene or through subsequent investigations.
Demonstration Details

Recent Unrest
The demonstrations come after a week of riots, particularly following the tragic stabbing of three children in Stockport. Despite these tensions, the Met Police has stated that they have not received any reports of protests similar to those seen earlier in the week.
Conclusion
The Metropolitan Police is committed to ensuring the safety of all participants and maintaining public order. Specific rules have been set for today’s demonstrations to prevent any potential escalation and to manage the flow of protesters effectively.
