Brexit betrayal march ‘outnumbered’
A “BREXIT betrayal” march led by controversial activist Tommy Robinson was “vastly” outnumbered by counter-demonstrators, opposition organisers said.
The English Defence League founder turned-Ukip adviser marched with supporters through the streets of London yesterday before addressing a rally beside Parliament Square.
Amid fears of violence, Scotland Yard placed restrictions on the march as well as on a counterdemonstration organised by Labour supporters and antifascists.
Labour grassroots group Momentum said about 15,000 turned up to oppose Mr Robinson’s march, claiming opponents “vastly” outnumbered the Ukip-led demonstrators nearly five to one.
A Ukip spokesman said “quite a few thousand” had turned up to its rally.
Police did not provide estimates on crowd sizes.
