Crowds gather for Tommy Robinson protest and counter-march in London

Thousands of people have gathered in central London for a march led by right-wing activist Tommy Robinson and a counter-protest.

Around 1,000 police officers have been deployed to the streets of the capital to “keep the peace” amid opposing demonstrations on Saturday.

Two men were arrested on suspicion of “GBH (grievous bodily harm)-level assault” after an assault on a counter-protester, the Metropolitan Police said.

Supporters of Mr Robinson’s march gathered on the Strand on Saturday lunchtime waving flags and wearing clothing depicting the Union, English, Scottish and Welsh emblems.

The crowd could be heard chanting “Rule Britannia”, “We want our country back” and Mr Robinson’s name.

Don’t listen to the liars at the Daily bulshit paper, firstly there were 10’s 1000’s to many to count, I was there a family man took my wife and some friends, we are nowhere near far right and neither was the 1000’s of other couples I saw there, along with people of all colours and races and religions.

NOT A PROTEST!! A Patriotic March - British people have had enough we want their country back!

[MrDavidc]

It wasn't a protest, it was a rally to bring people together from all walks of life and ethnicities for people who are prepared to respect British values. According to Google, Trafalgar Square can hold up to 36.000 people and today, it was jam packed, with all the roads nearby full of people as well and more pouring in from the Strand.
