why are there protests in london

There are protests in London primarily because of a massive far-right anti- immigration rally called "Unite the Kingdom," led by Tommy Robinson, a nationalist and anti-Islam activist. Over 110,000 people participated in the protest against immigration, expressing concerns about migration and its perceived threats to national identity. The march turned tense and violent as some protesters clashed with the police and counter-protesters, leading to injuries of at least 26 officers and multiple arrests. The protests come amid wider public concerns over migrants crossing the English Channel and previous anti-immigration demonstrations across the UK. Counter-protesters also gathered to oppose the far-right rally, making the situation more charged and confrontational.
