There were violent clashes on the streets of Newcastle today as hundreds of demonstrators (right) from controversial anti-Islam group Pegida were met by a 2,000-strong counter-protest.
Around 400 people from the far-right group were shouted down by the counter-demonstration, with scuffles (left) breaking out as the rally made its way through the city centre. The demonstrations against the anti-Islam march were led by Respect MP George Galloway (inset) who spoke at the counter-rally, branding the far-right protesters a 'German Nazi group'.
