00:00More than 100,000 people marched through central London on Saturday in an anti-immigration

00:07protests led by activist Tommy Robinson. Police said Robinson's Unite the Kingdom march were

00:14kept apart from a Stand Up to Racism counter protest nearby, attended by around 5,000.

00:20They need to stop illegal migration into this country. It's tearing us apart. You know,

00:28we've got people here, the veterans, our veterans that fought for us and for our freedom, lying

00:36on the streets with nowhere to go.

00:38I think the current government is a disgrace. It's taking away our liberties and making up

00:47things as they go along. I've never seen a government so disorganized.

00:52Meanwhile, the anti-racism counter-protesters marched towards the other end of Whitehall,

00:58the main route to Parliament.

00:59It's an education. I think we have to welcome everyone. The idea of hate has divided us and

01:08I think the more that we welcome people, the stronger we are as a country.

01:11Well, it's important to march for our freedoms. There's people who have marched before us and,

01:16you know, we want to be able to live in a democratic society.

01:20Some anti-immigration protesters violently attacked police, seriously injuring four officers with

01:26broken teeth, a suspected broken nose, concussion, a prolapsed disc and a head injury.

01:33At least 25 people were arrested. Immigration now tops Britain's political agenda, overtaking

01:39economic concerns as record numbers of asylum seekers arrive and more than 28,000 migrants cross

01:45the channel by small boat this year.

01:52And the question is, how are we going to receive this mission?

01:54It's a common issue.

01:55We've managed to switch off afront situation, a place in pied肉s,

01:57a place in a place in a place.

02:02Our needs to be a part of this mission.

02:05Our needs to be a part of this mission to walk through the corridor.

02:10We've managed to change and support them in a way up to the city.
