Britain will not give up their flag for those who want to use it as a symbol of violence, fear and division, Sir Keir Starmer said.
The Prime Minister said the flag reflects “our different country” and he will not allow people to feel intimidated “on our streets because of their background or skin color”.
His comments came after more than 150,000 people went to the streets of London to “unite the kingdom”, organized by extreme right -wing activist Tommy Robinson, and about 5,000 participated in a opposite protocol coordinated by “Racism”.
Previously, business secretary Peter Kyle said the hikers “demonstrate the freedom of the association and freedom of speech.”
The Prime Minister said: “People have the right to a peaceful protest. This is the essence of the values of our country.
“But we will not try to attack the police officers doing their job, whether people who feel intimidated in our streets for their background or skin color.
“Great Britain is a proudly based tolerance, diversity and respect. Our flag reflects our diverse country and we will never give up on those who use it as a symbol of violence, fear and division.”
Police say 26 officers were injured that day – including four who were seriously injured – 24 people were arrested.
Speaking of Saturday’s protests on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Kyle said such moments were Claxon’s calls to those who repeat their efforts to deal with great worries, including immigration.
“I am most worried about the division in our society and other societies and other democratic societies … At the moment, it is not even left and right,” he said.
“There are figures like Tommy Robinson, which can touch the feeling of anxiety and grief in the community of our society,” he said.
He told the program “A small minority” that committed violence.
Kyle criticized Elon Musk’s comments after he appeared on a Saturday rally in a video of the protesters told “fight back” or “die”.
“I thought these were somewhat incomprehensible comments that were completely inappropriate,” the minister said.
The technical billionaire also mentioned the huge uncontrolled migration and urged the Government to change the UK.
In Central London, a huge protest police operation was held this weekend with about 1,000 officers deployed.
Assistant to a member of the commission, Matt Twist, said officials said: “There is no doubt that many came to exercise their lawful right to protest, but there were many people who intended for violence.”
The protest on Saturday lunch was mostly calm, but when the afternoon continued tension.
MET said some officials were attacked by trying to distinguish both groups and dozens of officials were injured, including four seriously injured.
Police said protesters joining March, organized by Robinson, became too large to fit into Whitehall, and the confrontation occurred when officers tried to stop them surrounded by opposite protests.
Mineji police used bars to repel the crowd and officers were kicked and beaten, Met said.
Three of the 24 arrested people were women, and the rest were men, and the youngest and older people, retired during the protest, were 19 and 58, respectively, Sunday MET said on Sunday.
Several people were arrested for more than one crime.
Additional force officers tried to identify other people in the disorder to further arrest ‘in the coming days and weeks
On Saturday morning, MET said they were not going to use live face recognition cameras during the day.
