On 7 August, thousands of counter-protesters took to UK streets as anticipated far-right unrest failed to materialise. Stand Up To Racism captioned photos, 'This is what a mass movement looks like’. Over 6,000 specialist police were mobilised due to fears of violence similar to the past week's events. However, as the night progressed, the far-right protests did not occur. In Birmingham, hundreds of anti-racism protesters gathered outside a migrant centre with signs like 'no place for hate' and 'bigots out of Brum’. Thousands turned out in Bristol, creating a calm atmosphere with music. In Walthamstow, a large crowd carried signs reading 'love migrants, hate racism’. In Liverpool, hundreds guarded a day centre for asylum-seekers, chanting 'migrants are welcome' and 'fascists out’. Small pockets of far-right protesters appeared in some cities, but large-scale unrest did not occur. Authorities warned that troublemakers would face severe consequences, with some already sentenced for their involvement in previous violence. Church leaders called for an end to the disorder. See
