Manchester, UK – Hundreds of supporters of the Britain First “March for Remigration” took to the streets of Manchester city centre on February 22, 2026, calling for mass deportations, while a larger group of counter-protesters gathered nearby.

The procession moved steadily along wet streets, with participants waving Union Jack flags, St George’s crosses, and banners demanding “Remigration Now.” Police in high-visibility jackets and riot gear formed cordons to separate the marchers from counter-demonstrators, who held anti-fascist signs and Palestinian flags.

The atmosphere grew tense as shouts were exchanged across police lines, and occasional standoffs occurred between the two sides. Rain slicked the streets, adding to the challenging conditions for both demonstrators and law enforcement.

Authorities reported that 11 individuals were arrested during the demonstration. The event required extensive policing, with officers on foot, mounted units, and aerial support maintaining order while the crowds dispersed over several hours.

The day highlighted deep divisions in the city over immigration issues, with passionate displays from both the marchers and counter-protesters.
