Hundreds join counter-protests across the South
Hundreds of counter-protesters have marched in the south in anticipation of planned anti-immigration demonstrations.
It follows a week of disturbances in parts of England and Northern Ireland following the fatal stabbing of three girls in Southport - with unrest fuelled by misinformation online.
Roughly 300-400 people assembled at Grosvenor Square in Southampton, chanting "racists go home" and "racism off our streets".
About 50 anti-immigration protesters also arrived in the area on Wednesday evening, with the two groups being kept apart by police.
bout 40 people with union flags gathered near Portsmouth's cross channel ferry terminal and blocked Mile End Road.
Police kept clearing the group, who were chanting “save our kids”, but they kept running back on to the road, blocking the carriageway in both directions.
