“A group named Youth Demand claimed to have been part of a coalition that organized the event and shut down the bridge.
“Youth Demand said it demanded that the UK government stop arming Israel…”

    I suspect that the OP is referring to pro-hamas and pro-hezbollah actions at the protest. Since both are terror organizations who not only have genocidal goals against jews and christian arabs, but also actively harm and oppress arabs in Israel, Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon.
