UK: Farmers to protest and march in central London Nov. 19
Independent farmers to stage protest and march through central London, UK, from 11:00 Nov. 19. Localized disruptions likely.
Independently organized farmers from across the UK plan to stage a protest and a march through central London from 11:00 Nov. 19. The event will reportedly start from Richmond Terrace, Whitehall, and proceed to Parliament Square. Participants will later return to Richmond Terrace to conclude the protest. The purpose of the protest is to demand a decrease of taxation for farmers and inherited farming assets. Several thousand participants are likely to attend the event.
Authorities will likely deploy increased security to monitor the gathering. Localized road travel and transport disruptions are likely near the protest sites and march route through Nov. 19. Limited confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be excluded.
Avoid the affected area as a routine security precaution and to mitigate associated disruptions. Heed instructions from law enforcement officers. Allow extra time to reach nearby destinations.
