Anti-fascists have held a counter protest against a march in Stockton .

The protest was comes after campaigners, Gays Against Sharia UK announced they are holding a joint rally with Standing For Britain and will be marching through the town centre on Saturday.

The group states on Facebook that the march will be protesting “against Muslim grooming gangs operating in Stockton”.

There is also a planned speech from Anne Marie Waters, the leader of the For Britain party and former UKIP member.
