A total of 26 police officers were injured in clashes as projectiles were hurled, and the Metropolitan police confirmed on Sunday that 24 people were arrested for a range of offences including common assault and violent disorder. The force added that a post-event investigation was under way, with officers working to identify other people involved in disorder with a view to making further arrests.
Sit Down was used in a video posted by Robinson on X that was highlighting the size of the protest. In his own post on the platform shortly after 5pm on Saturday, when many of the protesters were still gathered around Whitehall and Trafalgar Square, Booth criticised the activist for including the 1989 record in his content. The 65-year-old said: Disgusted to see the cynical use of Sit Down by TRobinsonNewEra. No permission was granted, and we are looking into our options.
