Story

Metropolitan Police are watching closely as they found people in the crowd linked to violence. They stopped around 50 protesters from going to Westminster to avoid causing trouble. The group, called Youth Demand, were not allowed on bridges or roads after they said they planned to block them. In London, many football fans gathered for a match between Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid at Wembley. The atmosphere turned tense outside Tate Britain gallery when far-right protesters made offensive gestures and shouted at people. They marched led by Robinson and actor Laurence Fox, with security guards around them. Some protesters wore red caps with slogans like "Make America Great Again" or "Make Britain Great Again". Police noticed some individuals with a history of violence in the crowd. In Parliament Square, Laurence Fox accused the Mayor of London and the Metropolitan Police of corruption in a speech. Far-right activist Tommy Robinson organized the protest to criticize the policing system and call for the Met police commissioner to resign.
