The UK Independence Party has again been banned from holding a mass deportations tour protest in east London because of fears there could be clashes with locals. Metropolitan Police officers imposed Public Order Act conditions preventing the Whitechapel march going ahead on January 31, telling the party to find a less provocative location in the capital. It is the second time in three months that a Ukip march has been stopped.
"Violence and disorder will only place people at greater risk. Our priority is to keep the community safe, and I would appeal to everyone to work with us to bring calm to the area as quickly as possible."
