Brickbat: Heckler's Veto

Police in London used public order laws to block a planned U.K. Independence Party (UKIP) march through Tower Hamlets because they were worried the demonstration—which was framed around immigration and deportations—could lead to serious violence from residents in the mostly Bangladeshi community. Officials claimed they were not banning the march because it could take place in other parts of the city.

England has fallen. Bring home our military and diplomats.

They can hold it in a separate but equal part of London.

They need to stay in their 15 Minute Neighborhood.

I'm going to need someone to put this in immigration terms I can understand. The native British food trucks aren't allowed on the streets, but the inimitably profitable with no downsides Bangladeshi food trucks that, apparently, could turn violent at any moment, are, correct?
