Anti-racism protesters took back the streets from far-right groups after a week of riots. In North Finchley, a large crowd chanted pro-immigrant slogans. Walthamstow saw an anti-racism leader call out “fascist scum,” echoed by hundreds. In Liverpool, a grandmother held a "Nans Against Nazis" sign outside an immigration center. Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter witnessed a significant anti-racism gathering, while thousands marched in Bristol peacefully. Reports of small far-right protests in Portsmouth, Brighton, and Blackpool were noted, but major violence was averted. Police are now analyzing how they avoided the feared "nightmare" scenario.
