Thousands of anti-racism protesters gathered outside Reform UK's headquarters with event organisers accusing party leader Nigel Farage of spreading 'dangerous rhetoric'
They were vastly outnumbered by a large crowd of anti-racism protesters as police lines formed a barrier between the two groups, near The Gate shopping centre, in Newcastle city centre. Saturday’s protest started at Writer’s Square, where a huge crowd assembled, many holding placards with anti-racism and pro-migrant messages, while demonstrators chanted: “When migrants’ rights are under attack, what do we do? Stand up, fight back.”
The protests were fuelled by misinformation that spread online about the identity of the suspect behind the stabbing, wrongly suggesting that the assailant was an asylum seeker, despite police confirming that the 17-year-old accused was born in Cardiff.
