'Unite the Kingdom': Clashes in London as 110,000 join far-right rally against immigration

More than 110,000 people protesting against immigration have marched through the United Kingdom’s capital, London, in one of the country’s biggest right-wing demonstrations, with some protesters clashing with the police and wounding at least 26 officers.
The violence at the “Unite the Kingdom” march on Saturday came as police tried to keep the right-wing protesters apart from a group of some 5,000 rival demonstrators gathered at White Hall in central London.
London’s Metropolitan Police said the march, organised by anti-immigrant activist Tommy Robinson, drew an estimated 110,000 to 150,000 people, far surpassing expectations.

Al Jazeera’s Rhys Durham reports from the protests in central London.
Jennifer Naydle is a UK political commentator.

She says populist politicians and commentators on both sides of the Atlantic, are fueling the rise of far-right sentiment in the UK.
