The Metropolitan police appear to be on the brink of banning Saturday's planned pro-Palestine march through London after claiming that a protest on Remembrance Day would be inappropriate and risked violence.

Organisers of pro-Palestine marches fear Met will ban Remembrance Day protest

Following a meeting between organisers of the protests a statement was issued yesterday in the name of the deputy assistant commissioner Ade Adelekan claiming: "The risk of violence and disorder linked to breakaway groups is growing."

"This is of concern ahead of a significant and busy weekend in the capital," Adelekan said. "Our message to organisers is clear: please, we ask you to urgently reconsider. It is not appropriate to hold any protests in London this weekend."

It was claimed that the organisers had rejected an appeal to postpone the march.

The protest is scheduled to start at 12.45pm on Saturday 11 November - Remembrance Day - at Hyde Park Corner and end at the US embassy in south-west London, about two miles from the Cenotaph, where formal remembrance events will be held the next day.

Earlier yesterday, the prime minister's spokesperson described the planned event as "provocative" and "disrespectful".

Nedim Bajrami scored his first goal for the Ibrox club in less than a minute and Philippe Clement's side passed up several chances to add a second before the interval.
