UK police are arresting counter-protesters to prevent a "breach of the peace"

10 more counter-protesters arrested, police say

As we've been reporting, officers have arrested a significant number of counter-protesters in Tachbrook Street to prevent a breach of the peace, according to the Metropolitan Police.

In a fresh update, the Met says that it arrested 10 more people today for other offences.

These include possession of offensive weapons, affray, and possession of drugs, the force says on X, formerly Twitter.

The Met confirmed to the BBC that those additional arrests were of counter-protesters, bringing the total number of arrests to 92.

Far-right among counter-protesters, with chants including: 'You’re not English anymore'

As we've been reporting, about 82 counter-protesters have been arrested today near the huge pro-Palestinian march in London, police say.

There are far-right groups among today's counter-protesters - groups of men following English Defence League founder Stephen Yaxley Lennon, known as Tommy Robinson, were seen earlier. He is a known far-right activist.

The Met Police has said its officers were met with violence and abuse from counter-protesters, who threw bottles and other missiles.

On X, formerly Twitter, the Met posted a video showing counter-protesters shoving police officers and chanting: “You’re not English, you’re not English, you’re not English anymore.”

Watching coverage on Sky News. The counter-protestors are being described as "far right." It will be neo-Nazis soon. The pro-Palestine demonstration is much larger and described as "peaceful."

The British media are just as corrupt as the US MSM. They deplore nationalism. The UK counter-protestors are really nationalists who are speaking out against immigration policies that have created these huge groups of disaffected citizens who hate the West and the UK. Enoch Powell predicted it a long time ago.

They do this with the Polish Independence March, which is today.

They call it a “Far Right” march.

Pretty much and I can tell you the media are being one-sided main bulletins blaming the far right for violence and saying the Home/DHS Secretary is in trouble!

Anyone else remember this from 25 years ago?

It’s been common but down low knowledge for a while that old Charlie is a closet muzzie.

One of the most interesting things about replacing traditional brits with vibrant poc’s. Pretty soon they’ll have full control of the UK’s nuclear arsenal.

Arresting those who want peace. The world is going to hell in a handbasket.

Yes, it’s done and we’re next. Last year, I was looking around Whitechapel on street view and lets just say Jack the Ripper would not recognize the street walkers.
