The Prime Minister believes a protest on November 11 would be “provocative and disrespectful” amid concerns that trouble could flare as a result of breakaway groups. “The Prime Minister himself does not think it’s right for these sorts of protests to be scheduled on Armistice Day,” the spokesman said. “We think that it’s wise advice.” Met Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan, who leads public order policing in the English capital, said on Monday: “The risk of violence and disorder linked to breakaway groups is growing. Mr Mercer, in a letter to Met chief Sir Mark, said he had spent the weekend “dissuading various veterans groups from organising marches or protests this Saturday”.
