Police in central London are dealing with disorder ahead of a St George’s Day rally after a group of people forced their way through a cordon.

The event is due to begin at 3pm, but the Metropolitan Police said there had been disturbances ahead of the organised gathering.

Additional policing resources, including public order officers, have been deployed in Westminster, supported by colleagues from the British Transport Police and the City of London Police.

    The police forgot this WAS NOT a protest but a celebration of our ENGLISH heritage and history. The Police instigated this fully....2 tier policing system first hand.
  • @JasonGreen8811
    This was genuinely started by the police themselves. They just started hitting and kicking people.
  • St Georges day is not a rally, a protest, march etc its our national English celebration day parade.

    Police will have been filming far longer than that little clip they showed. Why don't they show the whole film ? Because it would show THEM causing the problems maybe ?
