Allowing a pro-Palestinian march to go ahead on Armistice Day will increase the risk of a terror attack, an official watchdog warned on Monday as pressure on the Met to ban the protest intensified.
Jonathan Hall KC, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, said that Islamists had used a previous Remembrance Day protest as a “recruiting method” and to “de-legitimise soldiers” in conduct which was later followed by the 2013 murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby.
