Tensions flared in Manchester after a far-right anti-immigration march organized by Britain First triggered large counterprotests on February 21. Thousands gathered for the group’s “March for Remigration,” demanding stricter immigration controls and deportations, while anti-fascist activists mobilized in opposition. Clashes broke out between rival demonstrators, forcing police to intervene as scuffles erupted in the city centre. Authorities imposed dispersal orders and made several arrests for public disorder offenses. Counterprotesters including activists from Stand Up To Racism and members of the Green Party of England and Wales rallied in support of migrants and multiculturalism. Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn also addressed the gathering, calling for unity and warning against blaming migrants for social problems.
