It’s St George’s day and hundreds of "patriots" are gathered here in central London to celebrate their Englishness.

Well, that and Tommy Robinson avoiding jail time.

After being acquitted of violating a dispersal order, Tommy and his mates headed for a rally in Whitehall where he and other far-right figures spoke more about a two-tiered police system than about England’s green and pleasant lands.

There were flags, singing, and the violence that is now customary at this kind of gathering.

We wanted to know why people were here.

Was it to celebrate England’s patron saint or one of its most infamous sons?
