  • Police confirm over 100 far-right rallies and 30 counter-protests tonight

According to police sources, there will be 30 counter-protests and over 100 far-right demonstrations tonight.


It is understood that events supporting the Far-Right are scheduled in 41 out of the 43 police force districts in England and Wales, including immigration centers, law offices, and hotels that house asylum seekers.


There are currently about 4,000 riot cops on the ground across the nation, with a further 2,000 on standby.


Intelligence indicates that the North East and North West are most likely to be affected, but gatherings are anticipated in other towns and cities around the nation.

Police sources said forces were braced for a “very busy night” of activity and are warning members of the public to stay away from the gatherings or risk arrest.
