UK far-right demonstration: Thousands march through central London

Thousands of far-right protesters have marched through central London in a demonstration organised by a detained activist. Police are holding Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, known as Tommy Robinson, ahead of a court appearance on Monday week. There was also a counter-protest, and a large police operation kept the two groups apart.

Al Jazeera’s Rory Challands reports from London.

It is not far right. It is patriotic protest British defending their freedom

People forget they're protesting against the government and their policies. It's not far right opposing tyranny.

No violence, no terrorist flags what a refreshing change !

[Indiscreetmess]

What's wrong with wanting to keep the identity and culture of your country? For sure muslim people would have done the same if christians or hindus or other groups are populating their countries and replacing them.

God Bless the British! 🇬🇧
Get your country back and remind the World why we globally communicate in English!

[Jon-hi]

AJ just won’t see the truth. This was mainly a protest by ordinary working people who have had enough about people coming to the UK for economic reasons

[caroleperry]

This was not a far rght protest it was British people coming together in support of their country and values. There was no trouble at all and we are not far right.

[margaretkobylt]

They are not far right, they are just people. The patriots.

[icjy]

Patriots marching. Power to you Tommy. Vote Reform.

[drukendall]

They are not Far Right, they are British Citizens wanting justice, truth and decency.

[_Helicam_]

"They are far right! They are racists!" said the media and the racists in the comment section.

[dil]

Never mistake tolerance for weakness. The British have viking DNA, patriots are rising up now and the rest of Europe will follow. Poland and Germany have already started too.

This isn’t far right? And supporting anti illegal immigration doesn’t make you racist or a fascist. Why don’t you have a go at Poland
