Queen shit 👑
Photograph of Saffiyah Khan at an anti-fascist counter-protest in Birmingham, 2017. She stands calmly with a slight smile, hands in her pockets, facing a shouting English Defence League (EDL) member in a black polo shirt. A police liaison officer stands between them, while another protester gestures in the background. The contrast between her composure and the man’s aggression makes the moment iconic.
