Is the UK being 'manipulated' by forces in the US? | LBC

At least 110,000 people are estimated to have turned up for the 'Unite the Kingdom' protest and 5,000 from the counter demonstration organised by group Stand Up To Racism, according to the Metropolitan Police.

Over 1,600 officers were deployed in London in a bid to prevent to clashes but multiple have been assaulted, the force said.

At least nine people have been arrested and many more are likely after officers were faced with “unacceptable violence” including having projectiles thrown at them, Scotland Yard warned.

Elon Musk, speaking by videolink to the Tommy Robinson protest, said: “I think there’s something beautiful about being British and what I see happening here is a destruction of Britain, initially a slow erosion but rapidly increasing erosion of Britain with massive uncontrolled migration.

“A failure by the government to protect innocent people including children who are getting gang-raped.

"It’s unreal the government has failed in its duty to protect its citizens which is a fundamental duty of government.”

Natasha Devon is joined by Professor Andrew Blick and LBC's reporter Joe Draper to discuss today's protest.
