Thousands marched through London under the banner of free speech in 2019, after Tommy Robinson, a former leader of the far-right English Defence League, was permanently banned from Twitter. Some Photographs are from earlier EDL Protests in London 2013.

Robinson and several prominent rightwing figures addressed the 2,000-3,000 attendees. Robinson told the crowd: “We couldn’t have done this three years ago, we couldn’t have done this four years ago. We are now mainstream.”

Other speakers included the leader of Ukip, Gerard Batten, the Vice magazine co-founder Gavin McInnes, the YouTube personality Sargon of Akkad, Anne Marie Waters of the political party For Britain and the former Breitbart senior editor Milo Yiannopoulos.
