"Theresa May says face coverings could be banned and known troublemakers barred from political rallies in the wake of violence after Saturday's anti-cuts march"

"The government will consider giving the police new powers, including the banning of face coverings, following the weekend's anti-cuts march, the home secretary, Theresa May, has said."

"May said police could be given the power to ban known troublemakers from attending political demonstrations – similar to how known hooligans can be banned from travelling to football matches."
