I'm not sure about this decision... seems like they're being super cautious 
. Can't say I agree with the "not a full-blown ban" part though - I mean, if you're worried enough to restrict it, why not just call it a ban? And what's with all these conditions? Is that really necessary? 
Also, I feel for Ukip supporters who want to exercise their right to protest... but at the same time, safety should be the top priority

where Scotland Yard is all "Hey, we're not gonna let you march, but you can still attend this alternative event... if you don't have any hate groups with you 
". I mean, it's better than letting things boil over into violence, I guess? But can't they just ban the whole thing and be done with it? It's like, they're trying to find a way to appease everyone while still keeping people safe. And what's up with the condition that attendees believed to be connected to Ukip could face arrest? Like, isn't that a bit heavy-handed? 
Still, you can't deny the tension in Tower Hamlets has been building for months, and it's just waiting for something like this to happen. Fingers crossed everyone stays peaceful
