Fears of far-right protests heading to London ...The Standard podcast

Listen here on your chosen podcast platform.

There’s been another day of violent disorder in the UK, and there are fears that the far-right protests could be heading to London.

A list circulating on social media which suggests that extremists are planning protests in four London boroughs is currently being assessed by the Metropolitan Police.

It includes a series of possible locations for demonstrations around the country - as well as Harrow, Hounslow, Finchley and Walthamstow in the capital.

MPs and local councils for the area have posted on social media asking locals to stay calm and reassuring the public that safety is their top priority.

Our Political Editor Nicholas Cecil discusses what we know so far and how hundreds of thugs are facing jail as the Government fast-tracks justice.

In part two, The Standard’s feature writer and editor, Robbie Griffiths, takes a little trip down London 2012 memory lane, and analyses whether or not the city delivered on its Olympic legacy promises… and considers whether Paris can too.

You can listen to the episode in the player above, find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.
