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.
