The Evening Standard reported that the police are assessing reports that far-right extremists were planning protests in four locations across London: Hounslow, Harrow, Finchley and Walthamstow.
Yesterday, Board of Deputies President Phil Rosenberg condemned the rioting that has taken place across the country in the past week.
He said, “As President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, I unequivocally condemn the lawlessness and thuggery we have seen on our streets in recent days.
“Attacks on Muslims, Black people, members of other minorities, and our brave police officers, are totally unacceptable, and we stand in solidarity with everyone affected.
“As a society, we have to be better than this. We need a national conversation about how we promote respect for our country and respect for each other, and how about we tackle extremism and build cohesion.”
On Sunday, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer warned that anyone who participated in violent rioting would “face the full force of the law.”
He continued, “The police will be making arrests. Individuals will be held on remand. Charges will follow. And convictions will follow. I guarantee you will regret taking part in this disorder.”
