Anti-racism Protesters Outnumber Far-Right Groups in U.K. Demonstrations

Thousands of anti-racism protesters gathered outside immigration centers and law firms in cities such as London, Bristol, Oxford, Liverpool, and Birmingham, outnumbering far-right extremists who had threatened to protest violently. Despite police preparations for potential violence, the demonstrations remained peaceful. Many businesses had taken precautions by boarding up windows and closing down in anticipation of unrest, but the counter-protesters were ultimately successful in "scaring off" the far-right extremists.
