Overview
- Avon and Somerset Police said the events passed mostly without incident, stood down the operation afterward, and reported no injuries.
- Three people were arrested—two on suspicion of public-order offences for threatening or abusive words and one for allegedly refusing a Section 60AA face-covering request—with all three in custody as enquiries continue.
- Officers issued five Section 35 dispersal orders for anti-social behaviour, with temporary authorities in place across the city centre until 6pm.
- The Bristol Patriots’ “Enough is Enough” march targeted Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, looping from the Cenotaph through Broadmead and near Castle Park, as an anti-racism coalition held a counter-protest titled “We Hate Keir Starmer More Than You.”
- The Bristol Patriots emerged in 2025 via social media, linking themselves to flag displays, letters pressuring schools, and protests outside asylum-seeker hotels, and their page recently praised reported US action against Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro while invoking President Donald Trump.
