Brexit betrayal march ‘outnumbered’
A SO-CALLED Brexit betrayal march led by controversial activist Tommy Robinson was “vastly” outnumbered by counter-demonstrators, opposition organisers said.
The English Defence League founder and Ukip members marched with supporters through the streets of London yesterday before 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.
Among those marching against the Brexit betrayal group were Labour grassroots group Momentum and Unite Against Fascism.
A Momentum spokeswoman said about 15,000 turned up to oppose Mr Robinson’s march. Momentum national co-ordinator Laura Parker said: “Today is a huge blow for Tommy Robinson and his vile, hate-fuelled politics.”
