UK streets flood with rival marches as London faces massive police lockdown
London witnessed a massive, heavily policed day with two major simultaneous protests: a far-right "Unite the Kingdom" rally and a pro-Palestinian march.
Over 4,000 officers managed the events, employing advanced surveillance.
While both drew large crowds and featured prominent speakers, authorities reported minimal significant incidents, though 31 arrests were made.
