London’s Metropolitan Police said its police force had “sufficient resources” to deal with protests in central London this weekend.

Following the tragic stabbings, police are preparing for further far-right protests in cities across the UK this weekend, with events planned in Aldershot, Sunderland, Hull, Liverpool and Manchester.

However, a Metropolitan Police spokesman said there was no information to suggest a repeat of Wednesday’s scenes. 111 people were arrested when violence broke out and police were pelted with beer bottles and cans.

Instead, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign is planning a march from Park Lane to Whitehall on Saturday. A counter-protest by the “Enough is Enough” initiative is also expected, although it will have to remain static.

The spokesman said: “Metropolitan Police officers have stepped up their efforts to reassure the public.

“We have met with leaders of the Muslim community and visited local mosques and religious buildings to provide advice and listen to their concerns. We will continue these discussions over the weekend.”

“The police have not been informed of any planned protests or demonstrations similar to those on Wednesday, but they have sufficient resources and plans to deal with any eventuality.

“Everyone has the right to protest peacefully, but the police will not tolerate individuals who use the guise of protest to commit violence or incite racial or religious hatred against citizens or officials.”

Mosques across the country have tightened their security measures amid expected rallies.

Erkin Ramadan Guney, chairman of the first Turkish mosque in the UK, told the Standard he was “always concerned” about the violence, adding that protesters were “targeting the wrong people”.

Meanwhile, Thames Valley Police said it was aware of “a possible planned demonstration in High Wycombe this weekend” and that officers would “respond swiftly” if the demonstration escalated into violent unrest.

Merseyside Police are aware of online speculation about future protests and have “extensive plans and significant police resources” to respond to them, a senior officer said.

Deputy Chief Constable Jenny Sims said: “I would like to reassure residents that we are fully prepared for any potential unrest in the future.

“The police and our partners also want to remind people of the dangers of misinformation and speculation online and the consequences it can have in the real world and how innocent people can be put at risk.

“People who maliciously spread misinformation seek to sow division and hatred in our communities, and that is completely unacceptable.

“I ask people to continue to be aware of the harm such actions can cause and to always question the source of information when viewing content on social media.

“Finally, I want to make one thing very clear: we will take tough action against anyone who intends to harm our community in the future, using all the means at our disposal.

“There are extensive plans and significant police resources in place to swiftly address anyone seeking to cause unrest in the coming days. We will seek to bring to justice any person committing acts of property damage and violence against police personnel, officers and our communities.”

South Wales Police have also announced that a police operation will be underway for “planned events in Cardiff” on Saturday.

South Yorkshire Police said they were “aware of a planned demonstration in Rotherham this weekend” and that there “may be an increased police presence across the county”.

A police spokesman said: “While a protest can be peaceful and non-violent, we are sometimes aware that the actions of protesters are not always legal.

“Our officers will try to prevent crime and disorder wherever possible. Where it does occur, we will respond effectively, lawfully and proportionately.”

Nottinghamshire Police said they were “aware of two protests that may take place in Nottingham city centre this Saturday” and vowed a “robust police response” to any unrest.

The Interior Minister warned the organizers of possible violent unrest: “We will be watching you.”

Asked how concerned the Government was about the possibility of further unrest on the streets this weekend, Lord Hanson told LBC radio: “The potential is there.”

“But I always say to anyone who organizes this: We will be watching you. If you organize this now, we will be watching you.

“Under current laws, we have the power to stop you from organizing something like this now and to take action accordingly. And if you take action and you are not part of an organized group, you must expect to face the full force of the law against this criminal activity.”

Asked whether those involved were far-right, he said: “Some people will, in my view, have far-right views, some may be caught up in the madness of the summer. Some may be people who have genuine concerns.”

“Whatever those concerns are, there are mechanisms through which they can raise them with their MPs, they can protest peacefully and they can push these issues forward.”

The rallies follow the indictment of 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana for the murder of the three girls, as well as ten other charges of attempted murder.

The attack occurred on Monday during a Taylor Swift dance class in the Merseyside region.

He is accused of murdering nine-year-old Alice Dasilva Aguiar, six-year-old Bebe King and seven-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe with a kitchen knife.

Rudakubana was remanded in custody following hearings at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court and Liverpool Crown Court, where he will appear again on October 25.

Politicians have condemned the killings but have also spoken out against right-wing extremist violence, which has also led to attacks on mosques and Nazi salutes at the Cenotaph.

Steve Rotheram, mayor of Liverpool City Region, expressed his “concern” that there could be a repeat of the violence that followed the stabbings in Southport.

Mr Rotheram told ITV’s Good Morning Britain: “We are always concerned, aren’t we, that there could be a repeat of the violence somewhere in the Liverpool City Region.”

He added: “I hope there are no further incidents – we are very aware of them.

“I speak regularly with Serena Kennedy, the Chief Constable of the Liverpool City Region in Merseyside.

“We have all eventualities under control and know exactly what we need to do to ensure that these things are nipped in the bud.”

Mr Rotheram added that it was important “that we do something about social media” because it had “fuelled the lies” about the alleged perpetrator of the stabbings which “contributed to the unrest we have seen on the streets”.
