“We deplore the attempts by some extremist groups to spread disinformation and stir up racial hatred and violence.
“We are grateful for the ongoing work of Devon and Cornwall Police in ensuring the safety of all.
"We recognise the right to peaceful protest, but utterly condemn violence and intimidation.
