TOMORROW’S national March for Palestine will go ahead as planned after the Met Police dropped its “repressive tactics” to disrupt tens of thousands attending the peaceful protest in London.

The force had imposed restrictions that would have seriously disrupted the 18th national march calling for an end to Israel’s ongoing genocide.

But with less than 24 hours to go, it dropped its demands for the assembly point to be moved from Pall Mall and for the march to start nearly two hours later than had been advertised.
