Police in England are preparing for potential disorder due to planned far-right protests against asylum seekers. Restrictions are in place in locations like Norwich, with officers deployed in at least twelve cities. Concerns are high regarding protests at Nuneaton council offices, linked to allegations involving a child. The spread of disinformation is cited as a factor in increasing community tensions. Police are committed to facilitating peaceful protests while monitoring for disorder, ensuring the application of relevant laws to online actions.
The chair of the National Police Chiefs' Council's operations coordination committee, Chief Constable BJ Harrington, urged communities to carefully consider the information they read, emphasizing that misinformation can contribute to community tensions and has real-world implications.
Warwickshire police dismissed allegations from a Reform UK council leader regarding withheld information in an alleged child rape case, indicating the tension alongside protests in Nuneaton.
