Tommy Robinson is joined by Laurence Fox as he addresses crowds during shameful ... trends now
Tommy Robinson was joined by Laurence Fox as he told crowds to march through the streets for a day of action against 'two tier policing' after a St George's Day rally descended into chaos.
Six people were arrested near Downing Street after police intervened when a group broke through a cordon made to stop people moving past the area allocated for the event.
This led to scuffles breaking out, with one man arrested on suspicion of animal cruelty after a police horse was reportedly 'targeted on Whitehall'. Another man was arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly.
The melee happened just before the main rally at 3pm, where Robinson - former leader of the English Defence League - was joined by leader of the Reclaim Party Mr Fox as he gave a speech.
Robinson was already in London having been acquitted of breaching a dispersal order while attending a pro-Israel protest on November 26 last year.
He was cleared of the charge after it was admitted the dispersal order was possibly unlawful due to it having the wrong date on it.

The court heard Inspector Parker-Phipps, whose laptop battery was 'dying' at the time, put the order in place at 10am on November 26, but accidentally dated the form for November 24.
Robinson was arrested at the protest near the Royal Courts of Justice in London. Organisers had announced he was not welcome at the event.
The former EDL leader claimed he was attending the march as 'a journalist'.
The Met said officers were forced to respond when a group 'violently' forced through police blockades today.
But it prompted claims of 'two-tier policing', with critics suggesting pro-Palestine marchers were treated more favourably.
