Britain First protest and counter-demo in Birmingham - as it happened
The far-right group is staging a demonstration in the city centre today.
Far-right group Britain First will visit Birmingham today (Saturday) for a rally in the city centre.
The far-right group has publicly cited the deaths of Henry Nowak and the attempted beheading of a man in Belfast as the reason for the ‘political action’, with the group urging ‘all patriots’ to join in the protest.
Staging a counter-protest, the ‘Stop fascist Britain First’ group have also organised a rally in Victoria Square.
Our reporter Mimi Ibrahim is at the scene covering both sides of the demonstrations.
