 British police said they had arrested 82 people in central London on November 11, members of a group of counter protesters who opposed a pro-Palestinian march taking place in the city. The police said they had made the arrests to prevent a breach of the peace. Police said far-right groups opposing the march were present in central London in significant numbers, leading to skirmishes with officers near the Cenotaph War Memorial, close to the Houses of Parliament and in Westminster, officers in. Riot gear sought to contain the far-right protesters, some of whom threw bottles at them, and police vehicles sped around the city to respond to reports of tensions in the streets.
