Lotti O’Brien reports: “The police are very calm – most are standing around chatting with one another. They haven’t had to stand in once as far as I can see so far.”

Campaigners in support of Chris Kaba, the black man shot dead by a police officer in September 2022, have turned up in London.

Activists have been seen holding signs reading “No justice”, “no one forgotten, nothing forgiven” and “no to hatred, no to fascism”.

Kaba was shot dead by Sgt Martyn Blake in 2022 as he was trying to evade a vehicles search.

The officer shot Kaba while he was ramming his car back and forth having been boxed in.

Sgt Blake was cleared of murder earlier this week.

Tommy Robinson’s far-right supporters have been chanting ‘We want Starmer out’, according to reports.

Tommy Robinson supporters have displayed a banner branding the Prime Minister ‘two-tier Keir’ and blaming him for the riots earlier this year.

One protestor is not happy that the police are holding the marchers in one place until 12:30.

They told the Daily Express: “We are being held here so that we get worked up and kick off so we look like the thugs they want us to be.”

Police are holding the march in place until 12:30, Lotti O’Brien reports from the scene.

Many of those in attendance at the march are showing support for Peter Lynch.

Mr Lynch was imprisoned for his involvement in the riots in Rotherham over the summer. He died in prison this week.

He branded asylum seekers “child killers” and shouted racist remarks at police officers outside the Holiday Inn Express Manvers in Wath.

The Metropolitan Police have released the following update.

Hope Not Hate has published a picture seemingly showing Tommy Robinson’s supporters with a banner saying ‘get him free!’

The Daily Express has not verified the picture.

Pictures show the crowds that gathered for a march in June.

In August, the Daily Express spoke to Lucy Brown, one of Robinson’s former social media assistants.

She explained what it was like to work for him, saying: “We did activism and sometimes journalism. We did stunts. We would try and wind people up.

“It was mostly organic at the start, then he got viral hits, and in the second half of my time working with him that is when it started to get a bit desperate.

“As Tommy’s fame rose, the moral credibility became more diluted. He just wanted the fame machine to keep churning away.”

Robinson grew up in Luton and joined the British National Party in 2004.

He was an apprentice aircraft engineer at Luton Airport until he was sentenced to a year in prison for assaulting an off-duty police officer in 2005.

He then founded the English Defence League (EDL) in 2009.

Robinson left the group in 2013. but has continued to campaign against Islam in the UK.

In 2018, he was jailed for 13 months for breaking contempt of court laws with a live blog outside an active court case.

He is now facing charges for an alleged terrorism offence and also faces contempt of court proceedings again.

Robinson was charged after refusing to allow police to access his phone.

He was arrested at a port in Kent back in July, and was accused of “frustration” of police counter-terrorism powers.

Schedule seven of the Terrorism Act 2000 allows police “to determine whether they may be involved or concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.”

Anyone arrested under this legislation must provide the password to their phone upon request.

Arriving at Folkstone Police Station, Robinson told one of his supporters: “I’ll see what happens, mate – I don’t expect to come back out there.”

The Metropolitan Police also shared images of where the counter-protestors will be based. They will start on Regent Street.

The Metropolitan Police has provided pictures showing where the march will take place.

The Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner, Rachel Williams, has released a statement ahead of the demonstrations today.

She said: “We are well prepared for what is set to be a busy day in the centre of London.

“Our role is to ensure that those attending the various events can do so safely and that they can exercise their right to lawful protest. We will have significant resources in place to respond to any incidents, to deal decisively with any offences, and to keep disruption to other members of the public and businesses to a minimum.

“We know that when groups with opposing views come together it can lead to conflict and disorder and a key part of our role is ensuring that does not happen. We have used Public Order Act conditions to ensure that those involved stick to routes and assembly areas that are sufficiently far apart. Officers will be monitoring closely to ensure that conditions are adhered to.

“The impact of frequent significant protest in central London is considerable, not least on the officers deployed to police them. Many would be working in other frontline roles if they weren’t required for these events. We’re grateful for the assistance of colleagues from other forces whose contribution means we are able to police protests while also keeping local communities across London safe.”
