# Twenty-six officers have been injured while policing a protest organised by far-right activist Tommy Robinson, which saw up to 150-thousand people march through central London. Tensions flared at the Unite the Kingdom rally, with some protesters throwing bottles and other projectiles at police. Five-thousand people joined a nearby counter-protest organised by Stand Up To Racism. Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, addressed the crowds at the “freedom of speech festival”. He also claimed UK courts had decided the rights of undocumented migrants superseded those of the “local community”.
