The lead singer of the alternative rock band James has criticised Tommy Robinson for the 'cynical' use of the group's hit song in a protest video.
Tim Booth said he was 'disgusted' that the band's single Sit Down had been played without their permission, as he believed the song was 'the antithesis' of the hard-right activist's movement.
Sit Down was used in a video reposted by Robinson on X which included aerial footage of the rally - highlighting the size of the protest.
The former English Defence League leader captioned the clip, which was made by the page ENGLISH EDITS, writing: 'Britain is awake, we are no longer afraid, you will not take our right to free speech @Keir_Starmer WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK.'
Then Booth made his own post on the platform shortly after 5pm on Saturday, when many of the protesters were still gathered around Whitehall and Trafalgar Square, where he called out the activist for including the 1989 record in his content.
