Police in London kept supporters of far-right activist Tommy Robinson away from counter-demonstrators yesterday, as shoppers and tourists in one of the capital's main shopping districts gawked at the spectacle.
Singing "We want Tommy out" and waving flags, the pro-Robinson camp congregated outside the Oxford Circus subway station to demand his release from prison.
Police imposed strict conditions on their demonstration, as well as on a counter-demonstration organised by an anti-fascist pressure group, Stand Up To Racism.
The rival groups only were allowed to congregate in certain areas for set lengths of time. Officers and vans separated the two sides.
