Police arrest 43 at ‘unite the kingdom’ and pro-Palestine marches in London

Officers were allegedly racially abused at Tommy Robinson march, which failed to draw huge numbers it was hoping for

Tommy Robinson's unite the kingdom" rally failed to get the huge numbers it wanted to march through London, with police confident that the crowd at his protest on Saturday was less than half the size of that at an event last year.

The far-right rally happened on the same day as a pro-Palestinian march, and the Metropolitan police said 43 arrests were made during the two events.
