@PaulGillisphoto Eventually the police contained the anti-immigration protesters into their ‘zone’, & the counter protesters ignored their own ‘zone’ & surrounded the fence. This stand off lasted for around 3 hours

@PaulGillisphoto It wasn’t until around 4.45pm, that the final half a dozen Bristol Patriots were escorted away from their protest zone, two and a half hours since they arrived.
