The Britain First party held its ‘March for Remigration’ in Manchester on Saturday

Six people were arrested on Saturday in Manchester, northwestern England, after anti-immigration demonstrators clashed with counterprotesters, police said.

Thousands of people attended the ‘March for Remigration’ organized by Britain First, a right-wing party demanding the mass deportation of illegal migrants. Many participants carried British and English flags.

Counterprotesters from groups including Stand Up to Racism Manchester and the Resist Britain First coalition also gathered in the streets to denounce immigration hardliners.
