The Home Office is, inappropriately, just within the Designated Area around Parliament Square, so the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 sections 132 to 138 apply. The organisers have already applied for the necessary prior written permission,
Loudspeakers and loudhailers are banned, but, given the volume of the chanting at the previous demonstrations, these would probably be superfluous anyway.
The Police can impose arbitrary extra conditions, at the time of the demonstration, but, hopefully, if things go as per the previous demonstration on 2nd September, there should be no problems.
