Metropolitan Police wrote in a social media post that a crowd of ‘Unite the Kingdom’ protesters attempted to enter a sterile area on Whitehall in place to keep protesters away from ‘Stand Up To Racism’ counter-protests. “Officers were attacked with projectiles and have had to use force to avoid their cordon being breached,” the Metropolitan Police statement said. More than 110,000 people are estimated to have attended the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ march, while around 5,000 people attended Stand Up To Racism counter-protests.

The met announced it is to deploy some 1,600 officers as Robinson supporters and opposing anti-racism demonstrators, who are hosting a 'March Against Fascism' stage rival rallies.

There will be barriers erected to create space between the two groups, with one side being led by renowned far-right activist Tommy Robinson.
