‘Nazi scum off our streets,’ counter-protesters chant as Tommy Robinson's goons march through London
People from Stand up to Racism take part in a counter-protest on Whithall in London, as "Tommy Robinson," whose real name is Stephen Yaxley Lennon, organised a protest march through London, June 1, 2024

ANTI-FASCIST activists chanted “Nazi scum off our streets” at the weekend in a counter-demonstration against a march and rally organised by “Tommy Robinson.”

An estimated 5,000 fascists attended the London demonstration led by Mr Robinson — real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon — over claims that police have been soft on left-wing protests such as those supporting Palestine while hard on the far right.

The fascists were protected by police as they marched from Victoria station to the Cenotaph, where Mr Robinson was joined by speakers who included unemployed actor Laurence Fox, who heads the racist Reclaim party.
