Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan, is leading the policing operation, said earlier: 'This is going to be a particularly busy few days in London with many simultaneous protests and events that will require a significant policing presence. "I'm grateful not just to the Met officers who will be working incredibly hard over the coming days but to those colleagues from other forces who have been deployed to London to support us. 'Our role in the context of protest remains as it always has been – to police without fear or favour, to enforce the law, to keep the peace by ensuring groups with opposing views do not come together and to prevent serious disorder and serious disruption to ordinary people going about their lives.
