Thousands march in London over deaths in custody and riots

Elsewhere in Westminster, thousands took part in the Unite the Kingdom demonstration, although Robinson, 41, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was unable to join the crowd as he was detained by police on Friday.

In a message from Robinson X’s account before the event, his team asked supporters to remember that “we are not here just for him, but most importantly to pay tribute to Peter Lynch and support the families of political prisoners.”

The report referred to 61-year-old Lynch, who died while serving a prison sentence for his role in the Rotherham riots, as well as others jailed in connection with the riots that took place across the country in July and August.

Demonstrators carried signs reading “Two-tier Keir incited riots”, “Take back Rwanda” and “Stop the boats”.
