I wasn't there because I had to look after my mate's dog, but here's an embedded tweet:

Batons raised against unarmed protestors. Disgusting. https://t.co/hmP5uPKPMI

Protests also took place across the entire country, and also in other countries, like Wales, where people took to the streets of Cardiff. Joining them was Charlotte Church, the opera-signer-cum-pop-singer cum politcal agitator, who carried a sign which read:

Here's Charlotte defending the NHS at another event, because she is great:

Because a person did a thing out of an intention that was good, arbitrary contrarian Katie Hopkins thought she'd wade in and offer her trademark conflicting opinion:

Oi! @charlottechurch wind your neck in. Your Welsh AND you lost. Own your problems http://t.co/yq2cpoSW9W pic.twitter.com/rFbA9XKQTl

This ultimately resulted in Charlotte challenging Katie to a boxing match. Seeing as Charlotte is from Cardiff and Hopkins votes Tory, I can only imagine Church would fucking bury her.

@KTHopkins Fancy a charity boxing match?
