Met confident of avoiding ‘serious public disorder’ as organisers say ‘hundreds of thousands’ expected at event on Armistice Day
The organisers of the pro-Palestine march due to take place on Armistice Day believe “hundreds of thousands” of people will turn out for what they say will be one of Britain’s biggest days of mass protests after the row over whether the event would be banned.
Ben Jamal, director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, a lead organiser of the protests, said he understood that people would be travelling from all over the UK to march on Saturday from Park Lane towards the US embassy in south west London.
