‘Anti-racism’ counter-protesters march through Manchester
In Manchester thousands of anti-racist protesters marched through the city centre on Saturday morning with trade union banners and placards reading “Oppose Tommy Robinson” and “No to Racism. No to Fascism”, writes Patrick Sawer, Senior Reporter.
The marchers assembled in Piccadilly Gardens, while police kept watch over a few hundred far-Right supporters gathered nearby.
The counter-protest was called after violence broke out in Manchester – outside the Holiday Inn on Oldham Road – and in other English cities, with fears that more would follow over the weekend.
Similar anti-fascist protests were taking place in cities around the country, including Blackburn, Leicester, Liverpool and Nottingham.
