"counter protestors"
Braverman's brownshirts.
This is on her, she has whipped this up and is completely unfit to hold a ministerial position that should be about bringing people together.
We walked down Whitehall about 6pm and there was a miserable bunch of about 100 fascists on Parliament Square with just as many police around them and about half a dozen around milling around Trafalgar Square. I've seen estimates that there were between 500 and 2000 of them, so that's a significant number of them arrested.
Prole.-
The guardian live updates mentioned a breakaway group of 2000 (!). I think that was the group that made up the ~80 group-arrest. By the sounds of it this lot would fight their own shadow.
Thank fuck they didn’t get to the march.
The Met tactic of kettling them before they even leave the pub is amazing (but does rely on a spooky amount of surveillance).
