6 police officers and 13 members of the public...who these members of the public were we don't know. It would be nice if the BBC could report on it.
From the Met Police:
23 police officers injured at Saturday's far right protests
More than 100 people were arrested and 23 police officers were injured during violent protests by far-right activists in London, yesterday, the Metropolitan Police have said.
Here are the key figures:
23 officers were injured after protesters threw items at police or “targeted them with violence”. None of the injuries are serious. 113 people were arrested at the demonstrations. The arrests were made for offences including breach of the peace, violent disorder, assault on officers, possession of an offensive weapon, possession of class A drugs and being drunk and disorderly. The 28 year old man detained on suspicion of outraging public decency in connection with the photograph of someone urinating near the memorial to PC Keith Palmer remains in custody. Commander Bas Javid thanked the officers and said: “The scenes officers encountered across central London yesterday were utterly shocking. Once again, they were pelted with missiles, or challenged by groups of men intent on violence.
“Mindless hooliganism such as this is totally unacceptable and I am pleased arrests were made. We will now work closely with the courts in pursuit of justice.”

* More than 100 people were arrested and 23 police officers were injured during violent protests by far-right activists*
Last weekend.
60 police officers injured by BLM protesters in what was largely a peaceful protest.
Draw your own conclusion from that I suppose.

Indeed. Own conclusions drawn. There were thousands more people on the streets last weekend over two days so last weekend’s protest was obviously much more “largely peaceful” than yesterday’s.
There was a protest in Castle Gardens a few months ago, apparently in support of Tommy Robinson. We had a home match and I happened to get into town very early that day and went to the Slug & Lettuce for a pint and a meal before walking up to the match and an usual pre-match drink. Anyway, I got myself a window seat and people-watched the protest which I hadn't seen any advance publicity about. The crowd was made up of 3 types:- (1) Bikers (2) Ex servicemen (3) WDL/FLA types Until then I hadn't appreciated the following Tommy Robinson had with these biker guys , and they'd come from all over England for this protest according to the patches on their jackets. Ex-servicemen were obvious from wearing their old berets. The WDL/FLA types (I think that guy in the Railway photo with the purple Harrington was there) looked like old school football hooligans and had a lot of flags, mostly union flags with stuff written on them. It was all very peaceful with the odd speaker drawing some applause. Couldn't hear what was being said from the pub. There was about 200 there altogether. A small group of counter protesters were up near the castle and it was being lightly policed, although as I walked up High Street I noticed a few transit vans of police being held in reserve up the side streets. This mix of people seems to have been exactly the same mix as was present in London yesterday. I suppose my main surprise was the number of ex-army guys present and also the presence of the English bikers - I've no idea how that link with Tommy Robinson started.
Proud to have been one of the 231

How did you know they were ex-sericemen by looking out of the window at the Slug & Lettuce?

Yes. The other protests were mostly cancelled so the “lads” had no one to protest against really so they rucked with the police instead.
Oh! ok, I thought I saw some white guy getting 10 colours knocked out of him, and police trying to keep the two factions apart, I presumed there were would have been arrests on both sides.

He couldn't find any cops to beat up so he filled himself in!
That's the truth bro ðŸ‘
You might think I've forgotten, but one day, when you least expect it, my time will come.

It;'s gone beyond ridiculous again. Is anyone surprised?
Lets start with the public urination, whatever the reason, even if it was just a moment of drunken idiocy it is still very wrong. You can't laugh it off by saying he was drunk, like that's a great excuse for anything, it is a good reason for people to at least cut back on alcohol. We could say let them who have never had a public wee cast the first stone and see who is saying they were never young and stupid. I'm out on that, I was and Idid though, I never took a leak on or near a monument. No lets go to the other side of the argument, who is willing to say the violence coming from sections of the BLM protests is justified?
It's all fecked up, it's all wrong. How many times will I ask this but, how is the answer to hate yet more hate? There are people on here from both sides revelling in the arguments and you're all wrong. There is no good coming out of this.
How is any of this helping to stop racism? It's like brexit all over again, people are entrenching themselves for a long term battle. We need to not man the barricades but cross them and meet in the middle, otherwise what happens? I'll tell you, nobody will win, we will all lose.
