Scotland Yard has stopped a Ukip march from going ahead in east London over fears of provoking the local Muslim community.
The demonstration, titled “Walk With Jesus”, was scheduled for January 31 in Whitechapel – long home to one of Britain’s largest Islamic populations.
Metropolitan Police officials said permitting the event in that location would be “reckless” given the potential for violence.
