The far-right agitators were aggressively pushing Spencer on trans questions in particular. And
members of the group were clearly itching for a fight. Because there were a number of scuffles around
Spencer as police escorted her away from the scene.
Full solidarity with Hannah Spencer, this is absolutely disgraceful behaviour.
This is a direct attack on our democracy, Hannah is an elected MP that has the
right to walk free in the city she represents without these extremists behaving
like thugs https://t.co/qEdCYKd7ba

The police, meanwhile, seemed mostly to take a hands-off approach. This is despite local authorities
‘apparently knowing exactly who some of the agitators were. As one attendee said:
The cops let the known far right roam in and out of the crowd. They let them
back in again after they harassed an MP.
I was there. The cops let the known far right roam in and out of the crowd. They
let them back in again after they harassed an MP. The anti-fascists dealt with it.

Even after the far right went for Hannah Spencer, the cops let them BACK into the
dispersing group to cause more trouble. GMP has a LOT of questions to answer.
The British Establishment want Trans People and those who side with them to suffer and to feel afraid
