“Tens of thousands of people are marching through central London in two separate protests – one pro-Palestine demonstration a day after Nakba Day, and the other, a far-right rally staged by Tommy Robinson. Police in the British capital deployed 4,000 officers, including reinforcements from ⁠outside the city, on Saturday and pledged ‘the most assertive possible use of our powers’ in what they called their biggest public order operation in years. … In a Saturday evening update, police said officers had made 43 arrests at the twin protests, which both ended by 18:30 GMT.” (05/16/26)
