London, UK. 7th October 2017. Veterans Against Terrorism line up with a wreaths and their banner in Park Lane before marching with the Football Lads Alliance to Westminster Bridge with wreaths representing clubs large and small around the country. The several thousand marchers were protesting against the recent terror attacks in the UK and Europe, remembering the victims and calling on government to take decisive action against the extremist threat, including locking up all terrorist suspects and deporting those of foreign origin. The organisers emphasize that they are opposed to all extremism and racism, but a speaker suggested that many thousands of Muslims were Islamist extremists and should be locked up, and there was a huge outcry when the name of Diane Abbott was mentioned, with a loud voice behind me calling for her to be raped. The organisers emphasized that marchers should avoid confrontation and march in dignified silence, but later in the march many abandoned this and shouted and threatened people they felt were calling them racists.
