## Visual findings
The Reel/contact sheet shows a UK/Liverpool-framed march with police nearby. Visible/overlaid text includes “White vanguard march through Liverpool today,” “WHITE MAN FIGHT BACK,” “DEPORT,” and “DEPORT THE FUCKING LOT.” A St George’s Cross / England flag appears in the crowd. The thumbnail shows red/black leaflets reading “WHAT DID THEY DIE FOR?”

## Audio/transcript caution
The audio is mostly chants/noise; automatic transcription is unreliable. PBC relies primarily on visible text/OCR and external reporting.

## External sources checked
- BBC: “Liverpool anti-immigration march results in eight arrests,” June 13, 2026.
- Liverpool Echo: “Large police presence as anti immigration protestors march down County Road.”
- Liverpool Echo: police statement ahead of County Road protest, including dispersal/designated protest area details and references to “no more illegals” / “mass deportations” banners at prior protest.
- Merseyside Police page was Cloudflare/interstitial blocked in direct extraction; Liverpool Echo quoted/covered the police powers and statement.
- Sky video page on asylum-hotel protests in Liverpool was access denied; not relied on for article facts.

## Verified points
- A Liverpool anti-immigration march/protest occurred and was reported by BBC and Liverpool Echo.
- BBC reported eight arrests, heavy police presence, counter-protesters, and no major disorder, citing Merseyside Police.
- BBC reported the march was arranged mainly via social media and involved calls such as “no more illegals,” “mass deportation,” “send them back” and deportation language.
- Liverpool Echo reported a group gathered on County Road outside the Royal Oak pub with police/mounted officers nearby, and described the protestors as far-right.
- Liverpool Echo reported Merseyside Police powers including a dispersal zone and a designated protest area ahead of a County Road protest.

## Cautions
- PBC does not repeat dehumanizing slogans as endorsement; they are documented because they appear in the Reel and public reporting.
- “White Vanguard” and “White Man Fight Back” are white-identity/white-nationalist-coded slogans; use this description carefully and source it to visible video text.
- Do not treat every person present as criminal. Arrests/public-order issues should be tied to BBC/Merseyside Police reporting.
- The Reel is a social-video lead; exact route/timeline should be anchored in BBC/Echo reporting where possible.
