Supporters of the conservative group Britain First marched through Tamworth on Saturday demanding mass 'remigration', as police kept them apart from anti-fascist demonstrators during rival chants in the town centre.

Footage shows Britain First leader Paul Golding speaking to police outside Tamworth Railway Station before protesters carrying Union, English and Welsh flags march through the streets. Officers are later seen separating the march from counter-protesters as the rival groups trade chants.

Rob, a Britain First advocate, said supporters wanted more than 'just remigration', including the deportation of migrants and greater accountability from authorities over grooming gangs.

"I would like to see, well, obviously, for starters, deporting them all," he demanded. "I would like to see God put first in this country again."

Another demonstrator, Frederick, said he was concerned about demographic changes in Britain and claimed that white British people were becoming a minority in what he described as their 'native homeland'.

"In the Midlands, there's just not enough white British," he added. "It might sound like I'm being racist or whatever, but the truth is, the white British are getting replaced, and that's just not acceptable."

Frederick said he believed 'remigration' should begin with people in the country illegally before being extended to some other migrants.

"Obviously, there's a consequence to remigration," he continued. "We should scrap the benefits and get the British people back into work, who don't want to work – the lazy British."

He also acknowledged concerns that tensions around the issue could lead to violence, while saying protesters wanted the demonstration to remain peaceful.

Britain First promoted the September 12 event as its 'March for Remigration', instructing participants to gather at Tamworth Railway Station at midday before marching to an agreed rally site. The party said the route had been agreed with Staffordshire Police and the local council.

Counter-protesters challenged the nationalist demonstrations, with footage showing one demonstrator using a megaphone and others carrying a banner targeting Golding.

Police maintained a presence throughout the event, filming protesters and keeping the rival groups apart as the demonstration continued.
