Police have arrest 25 people after what is believed to be “the biggest demonstration ever against the far right” concluded in central London.

The Metropolitan Police arrested 18 people for supporting Palestine Action, two for climbing up the National Gallery columns, and five others.

It comes as an estimated half a million people joined a mass demonstration against the far-right in central London. A separate march organised by the Palestine Coalition then joined the Together Alliance for the rally on Whitehall.

Recap: NEU general secretary accuses some people in power of 'using racism to feather their own nests'

Daniel Kebede, general secretary of the National Education Union (NEU) – speaking ahead of the Together demo, accused some of those in power of “using racism to feather their own nests”.

He said the “toxic climate that is taking place in society festers into schools”, where he said there has been “an increase in racist incidents, whether that’s directed towards teachers and support staff, or pupil-on-pupil, so it’s incredibly difficult at the moment”.

One urgent task for the next #ukgovernment, assuming it is an honest one, is to disband the METROPOLITAN POLICE and introduce a new honest and uncorrupt police force for the capital.
Then maybe the corruption endemic in #westminster might have some hope of being at least reduced to a manageable level.

Hardly a day passes that there isn't a press release or article where some member of the police, usually the Met. but others too, is being outed as a trouble maker, inciting violence or as a sexual predator, abuser or racist.

I, for one, am totally disillusioned as to the integrity of the #establishment of the British police as a whole. The corruption must originate at the highest layer.

It seems there are more criminals within the police than without.

@regendans "anti-far right" is fash-friendly mediaspeak for "nothing to see here, move along". Bullshit all the way down.
