In London and Bristol, anti-racist protests have drawn massive crowds, surpassing far-right groups. In Walthamstow, east London, and Bristol’s Old Market area, counter-protesters have gathered in the thousands, with Stand Up To Racism highlighting the scale of the movement. In Bristol, up to 2,000 people have swelled the counter-protest to the point that far-right demonstrators are unable to access their intended location. Tensions flared when a group of 50-60 individuals refused to remove face coverings when requested by police. The overwhelming presence of anti-racist demonstrators marked a significant show of solidarity.
