Violence has broken out in Central London today, as a group of protesters gathering to mark Remembrance Day – and in direct opposition of the pro-Palestine march planned for today – forced their way through police lines.
Pictures and videos on X, formerly Twitter, show groups of people, wearing poppies and draped in Union Flags forcing their way through police on Whitehall and chanting “You let your country down” at officers.
In one particularly shocking video police officers can be seen shoved out of the way, and up against walls and fences as the group fights their way through.
Chants of “England, England, England” and “England till I die” could be heard as protesters jostled past police officers.
Police could be seen with batons as they tried to stop the crowd from pushing through.
Journalist posted footage of the incident online.
He said: “HAPPENING NOW: Police begin to mobilise and protesters push through the police line.”
