Twenty-six officers have been injured while policing a protest organised by far-right activist Tommy Robinson, which saw up to 150,000 people march through central London.
Tensions flared at the Unite the Kingdom rally, with some protesters throwing bottles and other projectiles at police, the Metropolitan Police said – leaving four seriously hurt.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk spoke to protesters on Whitehall via videolink; while 5,000 people joined a nearby counter-protest organised by Stand Up To Racism.
The Met said 25 people had been arrested for a range of offences in what it described as "wholly unacceptable" violence.
A huge policing operation was put in place in central London with the Met deploying 1,000 officers and drafting in an extra 500 from other forces including Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Devon and Cornwall.
Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist said they had "policed without fear or favour", knowing it would be challenging.
"There is no doubt that many came to exercise their lawful right to protest, but there were many who came intent on violence," he said.

oh no
anyway
It was more than 150,000
I read somewhere else there was at least a million marchers.
Sounds like the peasantry is getting uppity. Will they risk throwing Tommy Robinson in jail again?
Yes it looked a lot , more than they’re saying. Place was rammed
“by far-right activist “ The BBC is far-left, that is why you never see it used in their coverage.
Back the Blue?
Charlie Time
There was a lot of tributes and chanting of his name
(It was more than 150,000)
Excellent!!
Per BBC “Tensions flared at the Unite the Kingdom rally, with some protesters throwing bottles and other projectiles at police, the Metropolitan Police said – leaving four seriously .”
BBC declined to identify who was throwing projectiles? I wonder why? We all know the answer.
“...up to 150,000” meaning 150,000 tops. Take a look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0HHZbvvQOE
I’m no expert but it looks like it might be a tad more than 150,000.
And which group is more likely to injure cops, patriots or the ‘Stand up to racism’ bunch.
UK state run media is gonna do its thing....
I’ve seen reports of over 2 million. 1500 cops for 2 million is bad math for the cops.
One of the British Establishment’s biggest problem is the language of Britain, which is still English.
The greatest language ever invented for conveying truth.
Steve Bannon aired a live feed from London on “War Room” this morning.
He said it was a marching crowd of one million.
Some of the people were carrying giant photos of Charlie Kirk and they were chanting, “Charlie, Charlie!”
Sure has been a busy September. So far.
