LONDON: Police in London said they arrested more than 100 people on Saturday after far-right protesters holding a counter-demonstration against anti-racism activists clashed with officers.
A fight takes place near Waterloo Station as protesters supporting the Black Lives Matter movement clash with opponents in central London on Jun 13, 2020, in the aftermath of the death of unarmed black man George Floyd in police custody in the US. Anti-racism group Hope Not Hate had warned before Saturday that hooligan gangs attached to some English football clubs also planning to attend Saturday's counter-protest.
Golding, who was last month found guilty of an offence under the Terrorism Act, told the domestic Press Association news agency they had turned out to"guard our monuments". Britain has seen a wave of protests prompted by the death during a US police arrest of George Floyd, an unarmed African-American, which has triggered outrage around the world.
Most of them have been peaceful, but demonstrations in London last weekend latterly turned violent, while crowds in Bristol, southwest England, toppled a statue to a 17th-century slave trader Edward Colston and threw it into the harbour.
