Far right protester Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, leads protesters through the streets of Chinatown where they scuffled with police amid heightened tensions over a pro-Palestine march on Armistice Day.
Trouble flared in central London as far-protesters clashed with police during a major pro-Palestine rally The ugly scenes involving hundreds of far-right counter-protesters in London today marks a ‘dangerous new phase’, the leader of a national anti-racism group has warned. Nick Lowles, CEO of Hope not Hate, filmed troublemakers clashing with police as the Cenotaph Remembrance ceremony and a pro-Palestine march took place in close proximity.
He then jumped in a taxi and left. ‘Some of the worst trouble was on Westminster Bridge around Westminster Tube with a few hundred football hooligans fighting riot police. ‘The police were obviously dealing with a difficult situation, with the march having 300,000 to 500,000 people but really, the main trouble today, as I saw it, came from the far-right who were hell-bent on disorder. They had been whipped up by the lurid political rhetoric over the past 10 days.’ .
