You won't have any trouble from the Free Tommy protesters as 99%+ of them are folk of all races and political beliefs simply there to express their views and have an enjoyable afternoon. If any real trouble kicks off it'll be the left wingers who start it, though to their credit at the Day for Freedom Rally the Met Police actually did a good job keeping both crowds separate.

I was (and still am) hoping this wouldn't degenerate into a political argument and we could just focus on the ride. This is why I used deliberately neutral language.
From a WNBR perspective, it's a pain in the arse. His arrest has sparked passions and it does seem that there will be a much larger crowd than the one a few days ago. The sheer weight of numbers will be a problem, furthermore Whitehall will effectively be impassable, let's hope it is peaceful and doesn't impact the WNBR too much.
