One elderly woman in a wheelchair, who travelled to attend from Merseyside with her son, held a sign with Charlie Kirk’s face on it with the words: “God bless, never forget”.
“I’m British through and through; this is our capital,” she said. “I had to be here today for our country.”
Her son added: “I feel our country is being inundated with the ideology which is trying to suppress and suppress us and I just want our country back.”
The pair said they were “followers of Tommy Robinson and what he stands for”, adding the “establishment just want him out”. They denied it was a far-right event, saying their attendance was a “patriotic visit”.
The mother said when she was a child in Liverpool, she “lived amongst neighbours from Africa, Pakistan; we were all one. It’s not about race, this is the government just overcrowding our country.”
Carol took the coach from south Wales to attend the rally. She said she was there because “we need to unite the kingdom basically, it just seems to be so divided. We just need to come together, all of us.” Elaborating on this, she said: “It seems to be one half can say ‘I do what I want’, and the other half have to watch everything they do.”
