Description

On-the-ground footage and analysis of the 'Raise the Colours' march and counter-protests in Sheffield on Saturday, 13 June 2026. I set off to cover this event as an independent observer, but the reality of out-of-hand policing makes true independence nearly impossible. We walk the route through Haymarket, High Street, and Fargate to document how Public Order Act conditions were handled. Watch as counter-protesters block traffic on Arundel Gate completely unhindered while massive police resources guard an empty Tudor Square. As the demonstration sets off from the Peace Gardens, activist Swampy repeatedly attempts to disrupt the march, causing severe tensions before the official route is forced into a sudden diversion. Watch the raw footage of the intense scuffles that followed, the moment a brown police horse loses its footing and crashes onto Castle Street, and my own experience being aggressively swept up and trapped inside an indiscriminate police kettle near the Holiday Inn—despite trying to stay entirely outside of the demonstration. Why are the police hiding peaceful marches down back streets while accommodating unlawful blockades?
