Campaigners call for unity to defeat the far-right
25,000 counter-protesters take to the streets in show of clear resistance

ANTI-RACIST campaigners urged Britain to maintain unity to crush the far-right today.
The call came after tens of thousands of counter-protesters flooded the streets on Wednesday night in defiance of a surge of far-right violence that has gripped the nation.
More than 39 locations including immigration centres and lawyers’ offices were expected to be targeted by far-right rallies that evening, however their cowardly supporters largely neglected to turn up.
