ALL SIR Keir Starmer’s efforts to stop people from attending Tommy Robinson’s Unite the Kingdom Rally and march in central London on Saturday failed. Utterly. Neither his ‘shaming’ and threats, nor an unprecedented police presence – 4,000, I am told – closing off central London from any tube or road access, worked.
Nor did the tactics succeed in provoking the thousands of marchers – those who managed to get to Whitehall from Euston and Kings Cross, and the many more thousands who never even got sight of Trafalgar Square, stuck at the far end of the Strand, who after three hours gave up. It all said so much for the law-abiding, decent ever-patient Brits who attended.
