It has not been banned, police asked the organisers to re-route their march owing to racial tension fuelled by online misinformation which was likely to result in serious disorder. Another march by the same group last October - charmingly named "The Mass Deportation Tour" - was re-routed from Tower Hamlets to central London for a similar reason.
UKIP is a political party, not a religious organisation. It cynically adopted the "Walk with Jesus" title to maximise publicity.
London, like the rest of the UK, is run by a secular authority. It remains one of the safest capital cities in the world, despite the creative efforts of part time MP and Kremlin advisor Nigel Farage to encourage others to trash the neighbourhood (as he did many other neighbourhoods in July-August 2024).

@SunshineGirl Do Muslims have specific places that they use to pray during the day?
Are they playing the call to prayer over loud speakers in the city? There are pictures showing
them praying in the streets and on the sidewalks, is that true?

@DogMan They have mosques. I doubt very much that anyone would pray in the streets of London or any other British city, especially at this time of the year. They would get wet trousers.

@SunshineGirl Sorry, I thought you lived there. The reason I ask is that I have seen video and
pics of prayer rugs and people praying in the streets of London, and I don't know if it's true.

He added derisively that it was "intimidation to the point of sort of basically urging the mass wipe out of huge numbers of Jewish people".
"I actually think it's one of the most terrifying things I've ever seen in my whole life."
Mr Farage's comments followed the major protest and counter-protest over the weekend, with one of the men shouting through a megaphone to "stand firm" and "defend our community".
The columns of masked Muslim men could be seen chanting "Allahu Akbar" in London as hordes of men marched along the way.

This is a lie. Everything you have said is a lie. There is no evidence whatsoever for an "Islamic takeover".
This is pure racism on your part.
I'll be fine thanks.
Islam is slowly taking over.

The three clock bells including Great Tom
Our three clock bells, also in the south west tower, strike the hours and quarters. The largest, Great Tom, weighs over 5 tons and is in A flat.

The historic Bow Bells of St Mary-le-Bow Church in London do not ring on the hour, every hour. Instead, they are rung regularly for church services, practices by ringing societies, and to mark the traditional 9 PM curfew. Historically, they are known for signaling the end of an apprentice's working day.

When Muslims heard about the upcoming event they took to the streets and promised violence
if the event went forward. It terrified Farage, so he shut it down. This is what he said.
Nigel Farage has compared "terrifying" columns of masked Muslim men to a "foreign invading army" when asked about the recent march in east London.
A group of masked Muslim protesters descended on Whitehall to "stand firm" and show that they were "ready to defend our community" in retaliation against a United Kingdom Independence Party (Ukip) protest on Saturday.
Donning black clothing and balaclavas, the group brandished Palestinian and Bangladeshi flags as they marched down Whitehall.
Now, finally giving a verdict on the matter, Mr Farage fumed: "There was proper racism happening in Tower Hamlets over the weekend."

Seems to be moving in that direction across Europe. As a small minority, Muslims will claim we need to be tolerant of their differences. As a majority, Muslims will insist you adopt their differences...or else

No they don’t.
