Anti-racism protesters take to streets of London

Anti-racism protesters took to the streets of London on Saturday, gatherings in locations including outside the Finsbury Park mosque, north London and outside the HQ of the Reform UK party in Victoria Street, central London. Thousands of anti-racism protesters have rallied in towns and cities across England after a week of anti-immigrant rioting and disorder.

Mosques and hotels housing asylum seekers were among places targeted during the disorder, with some shops burnt out and looted. The disorder followed the fatal stabbing of three girls in Southport, with the subsequent unrest partly fuelled by misinformation online, the far right and anti-immigration sentiment.
