Sir Mark Rowley, give London back to Londoners
Sir Mark Rowley, Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis
Today, for the third week in a row, central London was turned into a no-go zone. 100,000 people coursed through the centre of our capital. Last week they called for jihad, this week they called for a violent intifada, shouting “From London to Gaza we’ll have an intifada.”
Past intifadas were campaigns of violence, including suicide bombings.
We do not want one in London.
The law cannot be enforced in crowds as huge as the ones we are seeing. There is mass criminality on the streets of London.
Sir Mark Rowley, Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, must use his powers under section 12 of the Public Order Act 1986 to bring this situation under control.
Section 12 powers allow the police to limit the size and duration of marches if they pose a serious risk. So far, Sir Mark has only opted to limit the route and the wearing of masks, but even that has not been enforced.
Londoners, including British Jews, are afraid to enter central London during these marches because there are people on the marches openly engaging in support for terrorism, extremist chanting, and incitement to religious hatred.
Police officers are outnumbered 100 to 1, and have even been hospitalised.
Sir Mark must use his section 12 powers to limit these marches to instead be static protests of no more than 20,000 people in a location such as Trafalgar Square, with sufficient police numbers to enforce the conditions without putting brave officers and Londoners in danger.
Enough is enough.
Together we are calling on Sir Mark to make this the last week that masked extremists control our streets.
