It comes after up to 2,000 far-right counter-protesters and football thugs clashed with police earlier this month after Mr Robinson called for his supporters to “protect” the Cenotaph amid a pro-Palestine rally on Armistice Day.

The drunken far-right thugs who came to ‘protect the cenotaph’ on Armistice Day, some of whom shouted ‘Sieg Heil’ or hospitalised police officers, are most definitely not welcome.” Earlier this week, the Jewish News reported that Mr Robinson had maintained at an online meeting he still plans to attend the rally, setting off from the Royal Courts of Justice at 1.30pm.
