Read our privacy policy A rally organised by far-right groups in London resulted in apparent humiliation as protesters found themselves outnumbered 10-1 by anti-fascist demonstrators. The South East Alliance planned an anti-immigration protest outside the Home Office headquarters for visa and immigration services. Non-profit group Hope Not Hate tweeted: “The massed ranks of the far-right, protesting outside a immigration office in Croydon today,” showing a photo of a small handful of men holding a flag and surrounded by at least two dozen police officers. There was little disruption throughout the protests, although one bystander was mistaken for a member of the South East Alliance by members of the counter-protest, resulting in a brief scuffle.
