Up to 22 ‘Stop the Far Right’ demonstrations were organised on Saturday by Stand Up to Racism in several towns and cities, including London, Manchester, and Birmingham.
A multitude of individuals, rallying against racism, congregated outside Reform UK’s London headquarters in an act of accusation aimed at Nigel Farage for instigating “fascist rioters”. Subsequent to this assembly, the protesters proceeded towards Whitehall where they demonstrated support for those seeking refuge. Their demonstration was held outside the residence belonging to Downing Street and occupied by Britain’s Prime Minister.
Around 2,500 individuals are believed to have participated in the march.
