An anti-immigration protest will take place at Westminster, dubbed the Pink Protest, on October 1 between 10am and 2pm. The group claims to be protecting women and children and voicing women's opinions to the government. Conservative councillor Susan Hall also said that the group is fed up with illegal migrants in hotels in their communities in a Facebook post promoting the march.
Thousands have gathered in central London for a march organised by far-right activist Tommy Robinson, with a counter protest by anti-racism campaigners also taking place. Some 1,000 officers have been assigned to the demonstrations, the Metropolitan Police said, with barriers in place to create a "sterile area" between the two groups. "Today London stands tall in defence of one of our most vital rights free speech," Robinson wrote on X.
