WATCH: Police confront pack of protesters in Guildhall as rival groups make their stand

Portsmouth Stand Up To Racism mobilised another Unity Rally in opposition to a “peaceful gathering” of a Christian nationalist movement.

The protest was peaceful as anti-racism protestors gathered on the opposite side of Guildhall to protesters with Union flags. The Unity protesters were seen holding up signs up saying “stop the far right” and “refugees welcome”.

Police were seen speaking to a posse of individuals during the protests. No arrests were made though, the force said. “We haven’t seen any issues as a result of the activity at Guildhall Square so far, and no arrests have been made in relation to the protest,” a spokesperson said.
