Brickbat: Heckler's Veto
(Flynt/Dreamstime)
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.
