Walthamstow protesters chant: ‘When fascists attack, we fight back’

Metropolitan Police chief Sir Mark Rowley has said the “fears of extreme-right disorder” were headed off in the capital thanks to a “show of unity from communities”. Thousands of counter-protesters took to the streets of England on Wednesday in defiance of far-right violence that has swept the country over the last week. Sir Mark Rowley said: “We put thousands of officers on the street and I think the show of force from the police and frankly the show of unity from communities, together defeated the challenges that we’ve seen.” Credit to : The Independent
