As per news report of Rt.com, the scuffle happened outside Lunar House, which hosts the immigration division of the Home Office. A group of people with a pro-refugee stance clashed with police officers keeping them away from a small anti-immigrant rally.The Croydon location was picked for a demonstration by people concerned with the rising number of immigrants arriving in the country. Their reluctance to see more arrivals of foreigners has been fuelled lately by a record number of attempts to cross the English Channel by asylum seekers, which was reported last week, and evacuations from Afghanistan.
