A demonstration in London saw over 100,000 people take to the streets, organized under the banner ‘Unite the Kingdom.’ The march, spearheaded by anti-immigration activist Tommy Robinson, is viewed as a significant event for the right-wing movement in the UK. The event was marked by confrontations between protestors and law enforcement near Whitehall. As a result of the clashes, 26 police officers were injured, with four suffering severe injuries.
Concurrently, ‘Stand Up to Racism’ staged a counter-protest in Whitehall, attracting 5,000 participants. Police efforts to manage the two groups resulted in violent altercations. Reports indicate that several officers suffered injuries, and numerous arrests were made. Authorities are currently investigating the involvement of additional individuals.
