Robinson Reveals Police Deal to Allow Nationalist Rallies Without Riot Gear

What was said

"I sat down with the police and said, lads, like, we wanna start a new relationship 'cause we've clashed with you for the last decade as English men. I've learned a lot. I've fought a lot and it's 9 years later, 10 years later, a decade later... I'm going to organize an event, and if you know, if I want to, I can organize an event in East London. But I'm specifically not going to do that if you agree to respect us as a country's people."

Robinson disclosed that he negotiated directly with Metropolitan Police to allow his rallies to proceed peacefully without riot police, threatening to hold demonstrations in East London on the same day as Palestinian rallies if police did not cooperate. He said the agreement required self-policing by his movement and represented a shift from a decade of violent clashes.
