London was flooded by massive nationalist demonstrations, they want the head of the prime minister

“More than four thousand police officers have been deployed to the capital to monitor the so-called ‘sterile zone’ between the two marches. The police are also using drones, mounted police and police dogs, and armored vehicles are also on standby,” the BBC reported, adding that according to the police, this is one of the biggest security operations in London in several years.

The cost of the police operation is estimated at 4.5 million pounds. By late afternoon, more than thirty people were arrested for unspecified offenses.

The exact number of participants in both events remains unclear, but the streets in central London are visibly filled with protesters with British and English flags. According to police estimates, 110,000 to 150,000 people gathered at the previous September demonstration called by Robinson, Sky News pointed out. According to television, around 30,000 demonstrators were expected at the pro-Palestinian march on Saturday. The participants of this event began to disperse earlier than the protesters on the other side.

According to the BBC, many participants in the nationalist march waved British flags and chanted slogans calling for the resignation of Labor Prime Minister Keir Starmer, some demonstrators wore red caps with the inscription “Make England Great Again (MEGA)”, paraphrasing the movement of US Republican President Donald Trump.

“There is a wide range of people’s views – including those who want an end to the current government and others who believe that white people, especially working-class white people, are being discriminated against in the UK today,” the BBC reported, citing reporter Tom Symonds, who was on the scene.

At the same time, Starmer is facing increasing pressure within his own ranks. The Labor Party suffered heavy losses in the recent local elections. The recently resigned former health minister Wes Streeting, who called leaving the EU a mistake, said on Saturday that he is ready to challenge Starmer in the race for the Labor leadership.
