Tensions escalated in London on Saturday, as Antifa counter-protesters turned up at an anti-immigration rally in London to proclaim that “refugees are welcome” in the UK.
Videos from the scene show how police were trying to separate Antifa demonstrators from a small anti-immigrant rally just outside Lunar House in Croydon, south London, which houses the Home Office’s Visas and Immigration division.
