Violent mob clashes with police outside Downing Street following Southport attack | LBC

Police have clashed with violent protesters throwing flares and bottles towards Downing Street in the wake of the Southport knife attack.

Hundreds of demonstrators have gathered in London to take part in the 'Enough Is Enough' protest that was promoted by Tommy Robinson following the killing of three girls in a tragic incident at a Taylor Swift dance class.

Flares have been launched at the statue of Winston Churchill in Parliament Square while beer cans and glass bottles have been launched at police in riot gear who assembled to block Whitehall in front of Downing Street.

Police have reportedly detained more than a dozen protesters on Whitehall with officers leading many of the men away in handcuffs.

LBC is the home of live debate around news and current affairs in the UK.

Theyre not far-right, theyre just british citizens fed up with the status quo.

[pblockley]

Or should that be "violent police clash with peaceful protestors".

[avrilallison]

The police don’t do this to the pro Palestine riots

[roydavis]

This is not what happened AT ALL It was two-tier policing at its finest !!!

[njh]

Are you saying they didn't run away like they did in Leeds? I wonder what the difference was?

[marcoose]

Those spreading mis/dis-information should face arrest too

[LeeKirkman]

Far right, and you know this sat inside a studio? Have you spoke to any of these people to make such a comment?

[alanyoung]

Mostly arrested for placing a foot off the path, it was peaceful until this started after the kettling of protesters. The police acted like tyrants

LBC - should have gone to spec savers. Press the reset button and try telling the truth.

[MrTandDrP]

They kettled several hundred and kept them until 10 pm and then said they hadn't left by 8.30 when they were not letting people leave. There are lots of the entire live streams on you tube such as London Town. You see who really escalated this situation.

[billytollerton]

Propaganda yet again, when will media stop throwing petrol onto a smoldering flame.

[dianavanderclute]

Not at all far right...mostly average people horrified at little girls being slaughtered and more in hospital.

[annwilliams]

Mob what do you descibe those attacking police not inriot gear in Leeds get your facts Right

[blackheart]

Stop with the far right b*llsh it because its getting boring now

[YvonneMcDonough-fuxe]

The police were arresting people for walking across the street, they nearly arrested a th news presenter.

[paulfielding]

Not far right, just right, stop telling lies,

[lilbubz]

Please keep calling them far right. The more you associate being angry at child murd3r as "far right" the more they recruit.

[roc]

peaceful protesters OK, violence not.

[LeeKirkman]

Jurnalism nowadays is a complete joke.

[MichaelGill-od]

Its not about being Far Right or being football thugs.
Its about saying enough is enough right now.❤
