The Metropolitan Police has said 43 arrests were made on Saturday during an enormous £4.5m police operation to keep demonstrators at two rival London protests apart.
More than 4,000 police officers were deployed to the capital to manage a so-called “sterile zone” between a rally organised by far-right figure Tommy Robinson, and a pro-Palestinian demonstration.
Tourists trying to navigate major central London landmarks were left bemused by the operation.
What an amazing achievement by Tommy & team. Unbelievable, truly.
I am sure you are all knackered. But bugger me sideways lads, you killed it.
Proud to share a country with your army of real gentle-men and gentle-women. https://t.co/kqsVzKeKZy

WTF 😬 This HAS to be the WORST parent in Britain.
That poor child has been completely brainwashed and indoctrinated into a sick cult.
She should have that vulnerable kid taken away from her for the child’s own safety.
This is child abuse, not activism. pic.twitter.com/OopQnty5lE
