Albanian protesters covered Parliament Square's Winston Churchill statue with their national flag as they marched on Westminster on Saturday.
Thousands had gathered on Westminster Bridge before heading towards the Palace of Westminster whilst protesting statements made by Home Secretary Suella Braverman in the Commons earlier this month.
Ms Braverman has repeatedly singled out Albanian asylum seekers in recent times as she battles to shift blame for the flurry of small boats away from her door.
The under-fire Tory, who is considering a "bespoke route" to ship failed asylum seekers home to Albania more quickly, recently drew the ire of Albania's Prime Minister.
During Saturday's march more than 1,500 Albanians called on the government to respect them as people and their human rights.
As some Albanians filmed themselves standing on the wartime leader's monument, however, politicians felt their actions were a deliberate provocation - particularly as Armed Forces veterans were preparing for their Remembrance Sunday duties nearby.
The demonstrators' path to Downing Street was subsequently cordoned off by police, who were met by a chorus of jeers.
Tory MP Sir John Hayes told Mail Online : "It's insulting and staggering that at a time when we remember the two European wars and other 20th-Century conflicts, these protesters have targeted a statue of our great war leader Sir Winston Churchill.
"That is deeply offensive as we gather in remembrance to the fallen this weekend."
Another Conservative, MP Tom Hunt, added: "I don't know how they thought this would somehow endear them to people in this country.
"How did they think draping their country's flag over a monument to a national hero was anything but insulting, appalling and counter-productive to what they wanted to achieve?
Twenty four hours earlier a number of Albanians blocked roads in Westminster for around two hours, chanting 'shame on you' and playing loud music.
The majority had peaceful intentions in a bid to show the government they are law-abiding citizens.
One man waved a placard exclaiming 'I am Albanian, I am not a criminal, I work very hard & pay more tax than the Prime Minister's wife', whilst others said 'Suella must be sent to Rwanda', 'Suella spreading lies like Cruella' and 'We need the UK Government to apologise'.
March organisers said its purpose was to 'protest against the humiliation of Albanians in Britain' after Albanians were blamed for an increase in UK crime.
Earlier this week it was revealed that Albanians have accounted for 12,000 of the 40,000 migrants arriving on these shores this year.
Of the 350 people deported by the Home Office last month, more than 100 were Albanian.
