Police, protesters clash in London march against Johnson

The protesters, brandishing signs that read "Defy Tory (Conservative) Rule" and "Refugees Welcome," demonstrated from outside Boris Johnson's Downing Street residence to Trafalgar Square and on to the theater district, blocking traffic and drawing a heavy police presence.

Johnson's Conservatives won Thursday's election by a large margin. On Friday he called for "closure" over the Brexit divisions that have roiled the United Kingdom for the past three and a half years.
