Far-right protesters climbed the gates of Downing Street today to demonstrate against Tommy Robinson’s arrest outside a court.

One man made it all the way to the top and was pictured emptying a can of Stella Artois right on to Theresa May’s backyard.

Hundreds of the notorious figure’s supporters chanted his name and shouted ‘shame on you’ as police were forced to close Whitehall.

The co-founder of EDL was led away by police outside Leeds Crown Court yesterday for allegedly breaching the peace.


His fans fear he may be jailed again as he’s already under a suspended sentence.

Officers stepped in yesterday to stop Robinson livestreaming so-called ‘reports’ outside the court.



The incident has spread fury among far-right activists, who turned up in force at Downing Street this afternoon to show Robinson their support.

Footage shows the large group waving St George flags as several men make their way to the top of the gates and pump their fists at onlookers.

Scotland Yard told Metro.co.uk the protest, which later moved to Parliament Square, was under control and no arrests were made.

However, photos show dozens of officers wrestling with supporters as they push towards the gates.

Nearly 90,000 people have now signed a petition to ‘Free Tommy Robinson’ in just 24 hours.

A video of yesterday’s incident shows Robinson being led away by police.

He’s heard asking one of his supporters: ‘Can you get me a solicitor?

‘This is ridiculous, I haven’t said a word. I’ve done nothing.’

Before he’s bundled into the van, he says: ‘Here I am being arrested for saying nothing.’
