Anti-Fascists & Police harassed by hooligans

Westminster, London. Sat 14 Jul 2018



 Anti-fascists had gathered south of the river to march across Westminster Bridge to the protest

 several set off smoke flares as the Stand Up to Racism march passed them

 

 

 

 

 One was wearing a plastic toy police helmet

 At left a right wing protester attacks a man by the protest.

she screams insults at the anti-fascists

 along with another woman. I think they were part of a group that had been drinking in the Red Lion pub a few yards away

 

 The anti-fascists don't look too concerned

 and shout back

 eventually some of them march on into Parliament St, and block it at the edge of Parliament Square

 

 
     
 'Trump The Killer of Human Rights'

 'Immigration is not a crime'

 A few right wing men watch and take picutres from the street corner

 Police try to control some of the extreme right protesters

 

 

 Two men are fighting

 and police grab both of them

 I see one being handcuffed

 A larger group of football hooligans is on the other side of a police line across Bridge St

 

 Back in Parliament St, the anti-fascist marchers and friends stand quietly

 

 including the 'Blake Bloc' with a great banner

 Some of the Antifa have masks and hold a banner in front of them

 Police talk with some of the right-wing protesters and ask them to leave

 

There are still some tourists wandering around the area, and some take the opportunity to be photographed with the police horses
