| Subject: Three leftists arrested as Tommy Robinson 'Brexit Betrayal' protest and counter-protest flood central London Mon Dec 10, 2018 1:24 am | |
| Three people were arrested on Sunday afternoon as thousands of protesters and counter-protesters descended on parliament in London's first street protest since UKIP leader Gerard Batten welcomed far-right figurehead Tommy Robinson as a party adviser.
White nationalist Generation Identity and the anti-Islam For Britain movement were among groups flying flags at the 'Brexit Betrayal' march, which comes after a week that has seen Nigel Farage, Paul Nuttall and a number of the UKIP MEPs desert the party due to its further move to the right.
Quitting the party, former leader Farage warned last Tuesday that, by supporting Robinson, UKIP was likely to “inspire violence and thuggish behaviour”.
Today, speaking to an estimated 5,000-strong crowd, Batten invoked the violent imagery of the British civil war, warning Theresa May that "the king lost his head" last time the UK underwent major constitutional crisis.
He added: “My message to Parliament is clear and simple: dump the deal and take Britain out of the EU now.
“The only way we will ever achieve a real exit from the EU is to rebuild the UKIP electoral threat once again.”
