Protests in London, demonstrators clash with police

According to the BBC, there are numerous groups gathered in the centre of the capital, claiming to be protecting statues from anti-racism activists.

Interior Secretary Priti Patel described the violence as “a completely unacceptable” attack.

Some anti-racism demonstrations have also taken place throughout the United Kingdom, including in central London.

Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Police had imposed restrictions on several groups intended to protest, following violent scenes last weekend.

But according to the media, different groups from around the country, including right-wing activists, said they had come to London to protect the symbols of British history.
