London's rival marches test security as police deploy thousands
TL;DR Summary
London mounted a massive security operation for two rival rallies — the far-right Unite the Kingdom march led by Tommy Robinson and a Nakba Day pro-Palestinian protest — deploying around 4,000 officers with horses, dogs, drones and helicopters; authorities warned of a zero-tolerance approach to hate speech, cautioned about potential clashes ahead of the FA Cup Final, and by mid-afternoon 31 people had been arrested.
