Overview
- Bristol Patriots gathered at the Cenotaph for their 'Enough is Enough' march targeting Sir Keir Starmer before moving through Broadmead and areas by Castle Park.
- A coalition of anti‑racism groups staged a counter‑protest titled 'We Hate Keir Starmer More Than You', assembling an hour earlier at the same location.
- Avon and Somerset Police put in place a mask‑removal requirement and a dispersal zone from 8am to 6pm, deploying specialist units to maintain separation and lawful protest.
- Officials kept the focus on managing movement in the city centre as the exact route shifted, rather than restricting counter‑protest locations.
- Planning drew on an October march that saw about 80 Patriots confronted by hundreds of counter‑protesters, and followed recent Patriots posts praising a reported US action against Nicolás Maduro and urging similar treatment for the UK prime minister.
