Demonstrators will take to the streets of London again this weekend following a series of protests that have been held in the capital over the weekends in recent months.
After Stop the Hate and Palestine Solidarity Campaign marches earlier this month, and Let Women Speak last week, more protestors will march in central London, this time with a demonstration against Russia.
Here are details about the march, including when and where it will be happening.
Navalny Team UK
Saturday, March 1 will see action taken by the Navalny Team in Hyde Park throughout the afternoon.
Taking place from 12.30pm to 1.40pm, the Navalny Team UK - an organisation against Vladimir Putin’s Russia will march from Marble Arch to the Russian Embassy in Kensington Palace Gardens.
The planned protest march expected to kick off from Marble Arch at lunchtime, and then head to the Russian Embassy via Bayswater Road.
Police say they are expecting around 400 to attend the demonstration. It is expected there will be heightened security in the area.
Are there any other protests planned?
Yes, but during the week. The National Farmers Union, the voice of farmers in the UK, are planning a ‘Pancake Day rally’ in Central London, to protest against the UK Government’s plans for the Family Farm Tax.
The event will take place on Tuesday, March 4 and will descend on Whitehall at 12.00 before moving through Trafalgar Square, Northumberland Avenue, down The Embankment, and then on to Parliament Square, before concluding at 3pm back on Whitehall.
Farmer and NFU member Olly Harrison, one of the organisers, called for farmers in their droves to join in against the “cruel” tax being planned: “We don’t need any tractors, this is on foot. We are going to have some kit to show to the MPs to explain the levels of investment.
“We’ve sorted all that out, you just get yourself there on foot. Let’s explain the levels of investment needed in agriculture just to produce something simple like a pancake.
“More details will follow and we’ll share them as we have them but mark 4 March in your diaries.”
