On a chill Sunday, August 31, 2025, peaceful protesters were peacefully marching around London’s Isle of Dogs on Manchester Road and Westferry Road—until a handful of masked individuals said, 'Nope!' and got aggressive. The Metropolitan Police, who were probably expecting a quiet brunch, instead got punched in the face by an apparently offended officer admirer. Four arrests followed, confirming that anti-immigration protests can suddenly upgrade from 'civil discourse' to 'edgy mugshot photoshoot.' It’s the kind of plot twist Canary Wharf didn’t order, turning a calm gathering into a street melee worthy of a daytime soap opera.
