Sky News reports:
Around 30 far-right protesters clashed with similar numbers of counter-protesters outside Tate Britain over a drag queen storytelling event.
Nationalist organisation Patriotic Alternative was understood to have led a group of demonstrators against children’s author Aida H Dee reading to families at the central London art gallery on Saturday.
They came face to face with counter-protesters, led by campaign group Stand Up To Racism, gathered in support of the story-telling event. People opposed to the reading held placards bearing the slogans “No drag for kids!” and “Leave our kids alone!”
Read the full article. All three reading events were sold out and went on without disruptions. The right wing Twitter account Viral News NY finally had to back down after being shown proof that the event was organized by self-proclaimed Nazis. Note below how homocon Andy Ngo characterizes the incident.

Those opposed include neo Nazis. That’s important context to know before you try to “both sides” fascist violence aimed at LGBTQ+ people

Those look like people who have a different opinion than you. The word ” nazis” gets thrown around loosely and is offensive to people from the Jewish faith.
Show me something that they are doing that makes them nazis , tattoos of Swastikas , Hitler salutes.— Viral News NY (@ViralNewsNYC) February 11, 2023
What are you talking about? Patriotic Alternative are a neo Nazi group, founded by notorious neo Nazi Mark Collett, pictured below with former girlfriend Eva van Housen. If you’ve not done even minimal research on the far right in the UK, why are you reporting on their actions? pic.twitter.com/DeLl7FgsUF

My apologies. Yes, it does seem like some real nazis did attend this rally.
