Tommy Robinson can go do one.

0:01

All those people got to be wrong.Horrendous hate marches that he creates.Darma.

0:06

He should be locked up in a tower.He would do if I was king.

0:10

What's your message you want to get across to the rest of the country with the march today?

0:13

The message is that we will continue protesting, that we must stand in solidarity with the Palestinians, that we must have equal rights and justice from everyone that lives in historic Palestine.

Everything needs to change.to how it has been.So the whole country, and that's why everyone's here today, they just want a whole complete change.of what the whole system's doing.

On the days where we come down to London and outnumber Tommy Robinson and build a vibrant anti -racist movement that represents everything that he hates, that's when we knock their confidence, that's when we can take them off the streets and that's how we can make a difference.

0:46

Well we've got thousands on our anti -racist block and also we were marching on the Together demonstration on the 28th of March where we had half a million.Our movement's absolutely huge.

0:56

There've been too many marches going on in London, I've watched on the TV, they seem to be hostile to British interests, shall we say, and I wanted to come down and say well there are people who have an alternative point of view.

1:10

So today we've got a big moment of unity between the Palestine movement and between the anti -racist movement who are saying f*** you to Tommy Robinson.I'm not racist but I mean all this, hotels full, paying for them, yeah England's in trouble, crimes and all that.One of them gone mate.when I'm gone.So what exactly needs to change and what's the issue now and what would you like it to change to?

1:32

Well I'd like it to change that actually the country are looking after our own people more than everyone else.You know our people are the priority here and that's why everyone's here because they feel the same that they need looking after.Not any special you know situation but just looking after and treated at least equally.

1:53

I don't think you'll change anything very much this March just today but to send a message that to be.are a bit fed up with the way things are, especially on the issue of open, well apparently open borders.

2:05

It's very important that we counter these horrendous hate marches that he creates.

2:10

The whole thing is being called a racist.by being here today, like all these people apparently are racist.You've got people there, you've got Chinese people walking, you've got people from other countries walking for us.

2:23

These streets are ours, they are not his.Do you have a message for Tommy Robinson and his march today?

2:27

Yeah, well, I probably can't publicise or go into your interview what I really want to say to Tommy Robinson.But what I want to tell him is that I've grown up in London my whole life.London is an anti -racist city.This country is built off of migration.We wouldn't have the NHS.We wouldn't have our bus services or our cleaning services without migrants.

2:46

So Tommy Robinson can go do one.There's very many more of us than them, and we've got no room for racism.

Cheers.
