The British media are portraying this as "extremist" and "right-wing." Non-left-wing reports, however, refer to it as a freedom protest.

Thousands of supporters of the far-right activist Tommy Robinson have filled Trafalgar Square in central London after a march.

He claimed the event was the "biggest patriotic rally" the UK had ever seen.

A counter-protest by Stand Up To Racism and former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's Peace & Justice Project also took place in London.

The Metropolitan Police said a major operation was in place to "keep the peace" between the two protests, amid fears of serious disruption.

A Trans Pride event was also held in the capital. ...

Antifa occupied the streets around Trafalgar Square for a violent direct action after they were unable to rush a police cordon to attack the Tommy Robinson rally.
