Numerous demonstrators rallied against racism throughout England, creating human shields around centers for asylum seekers following police cautions about over 100 planned rallies by far-right groups on Wednesday evening.

On today's episode of Sky News Daily, host Niall Paterson revisits a conversation with Tawhid Islam, a trustee from the Liverpool Region Mosque Network. Islam returns to discuss concerns that the protests feared by his community were eclipsed by voices of support, a topic previously touched upon in their last dialogue.

Additionally, our correspondent for societal issues, Nick Martin, discusses whether the rapid administration of justice discouraged demonstrators and secured a political win for the newly instated government.
