Fears of a far-right nationalist rally against the Charedi community have been dampened by police and Jewish security groups.

White supremacist Joshua Bonehill-Paine announced his intention to "Liberate Stamford Hill" with a demonstration in Hackney, north London.

In a supposed "appeal against the Jewification of Britain", he claimed there was an "on-going foreign occupation" of the area, with an "occupation force of approximately 50,000 Jews".

Publicity around the rally raised concern among Jewish groups, but the Community Security Trust said Bonehill-Paine's plan should be treated "with the contempt it deserves".
