Marchers oppose Tommy Robinson
London. Sun 9 Dec 2018
The front of the march reaches the platform in Whitehall
and the women holding the banner take it to stand holding it in front
of the stage
We can just see the flags held by Robinson supporters at the start
of Parliament St
The music is extremely loud and so when they begin are the speeches
- i can hear nothing from the Robinson protest
After the march plenty of people still have the energy to dance
Then come some speeches
Weyman Bennett - SUTR
Claudia Webbe who brought a message from Jeremy Corbyn as well as
speaking herself
Kevin Courtney, NEU General Secretary NUT branch
A man who interrupts Kevin Courtney is led away
Nita Sanghera - UCU
Louise Raw
Paul Mason
Shahrar Ali Green Party Home Affairs Spokesperson
David Rosenberg - Jewish Socialist Group
Matt Wrack - Fire Brigades Union
There is more music and I decide I've heard enoug speeches, and start
walking out, past three clown army
The antifascist bloc have also decided it is time to go home - and
want to go together to Charing Cross station to disperse
at first the police stop them,
but when it becomes clear tehy are leaving they escort them to the station.
I slip out of the police cordon after taking a few photographs and make
my own way home
