Second far-right demo to take place in Dover
March planned this weekend, following arrests as protesters took to the street on Saturday.
Far-right demonstrators will take part in a second march this weekend, following arrests as protesters took to the street on Saturday.
Two men were arrested in Dover, Kent on suspicion of being involved in violence at a previous protest in January.
Saturday’s march, with counter-protests, passed peacefully following a large police presence in the town.
Before the demonstration began, police detained the men, a 33-year-old from Margate and a 35-year-old from Dover, on suspicion of violent disorder in connection with a protest on January 30 which erupted into violence.
A second march is set to take place later beginning at Dover Priory railway station.
A Kent Police spokesman said: “The first part of planned demonstrations by various groups in Dover this weekend has ended peacefully.
“There was a large police presence on the streets of the town with support from other police forces and mounted officers.
“Further demonstrations are planned in the town on the afternoon of May 29.”
Following the January demonstration, in which smoke bombs were let off and bricks thrown at police, officers seized more than 20 weapons, including a knuckle duster, and three people were arrested.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
