Overview
- Following Saturday's rival marches in central London, the Metropolitan Police reported 43 protest-related arrests and said large-scale disorder was avoided.
- The force deployed about 4,000 officers with horses, dogs, drones, helicopters and facial-recognition cameras in an operation expected to cost roughly £4.5 million.
- Attendance topped 60,000 at Tommy Robinson's Unite the Kingdom event, while about 20,000 joined a pro-Palestinian Nakba-day rally that police kept on a separate route.
- Officials barred 11 foreign far-right figures from entering the UK, and police imposed conditions that hold organisers responsible if invited speakers break hate-speech laws.
- Police later said 20 arrests were linked to Robinson's march, 12 to the counter-protest, four officers were assaulted without serious injury, and 22 separate arrests were made at the FA Cup final.
