Of the 24 marches banned by home secretaries under section 13 of the Public Order Act in the past 30 years, a significant majority—21—were led by far-right groups, raising concerns about policing bias.
The ongoing debates around policing in Britain, especially during summer riots and pro-Palestinian demonstrations, have intensified claims of a two-tier system that disproportionately impacts right-wing groups compared to others.
The allegations of two-tier policing have gained attention from influential figures, including Elon Musk and former home secretary Suella Braverman, indicating a growing concern around perceived injustices in law enforcement.
Sir Mark Rowley, the Metropolitan police commissioner, faced pressure regarding his stance on political demonstrations, particularly against Braverman's claims of unequal treatment of right-wing and pro-Palestinian protesters.
