Far-right protestors are set to converge in London on Sunday, for a pro-Brexit March.

They are set to join Tommy Robinson, a former leader of the English Defence League and new advisor to the UK Independence party (UKIP).

The “Brexit Betrayal” protest has been advertised as a “peaceful and democratic” march against Prime Minister Theresa May‘s proposed deal to withdraw from the European Union.

Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has become the figurehead of Britain’s far right, capitalising on attacks by Muslim suspects and rape trials involving Asian men to amass over one million followers on Facebook and YouTube.

He has long denied accusations of racism or Islamophobia, but has called British Muslims “enemy combatants” and said refugees are “raping their way through” the United Kingdom.

The right-wing US think-tank Middle East Forum spent $60,000 on Robinson’s legal defence and a series of demonstrations in London this summer, as part of a growing international network, that provides him with financial and political support.

Robinson was appointed by Batten as UKIP’s official adviser on grooming gangs and prisons last month, circumventing the party’s rules which bar former EDL members and push the extreme right-wing party further towards open Islamophobia.

The decision prompted a number of resignations from the party, including long-time leader Nigel Farage.

“The very idea of Tommy Robinson being at the centre of the Brexit debate is too awful to contemplate,” Farage wrote in the Daily Telegraph. Farage is credited with having had significant influence over encouraging Britons to leave the EU.
