Violence erupted in central London during a St George's Day event as protesters, including far-right groups and individuals draped in England flags, clashed with police. The confrontations occurred in Whitehall and near the Prime Minister's residence. The Metropolitan Police had deployed additional officers in anticipation of the unrest, which involved groups linked to football clubs. There were reports of a police horse being attacked amidst the chaos. Six arrests were made. The event also sparked discussions on alleged 'two-tier policing', contrasting the treatment of these protesters with that of pro-Palestine marchers. Baroness Sayeeda Warsi commented on the racial identity of St. George, highlighting the irony of the violence.
