This was facilitated by the police. We did not force our way through.
When we reached Trafalgar Square, we informed police that we would go no further, lay down flowers and disperse.

Far-right violence hasn’t come out of nowhere.
It is the result of anti-migrant rhetoric from mainstream politicians who scapegoat refugees.
We are an anti-racist movement that believes in a more inclusive world. We defeated the far right before. We will defeat them again.

This is an odd definition of "damage". The stones have stood for 5,000 years. They have withstood hurricanes, wars, storms and floods. They have withstood the Romans, the Vikings, the Normans and new age travellors. I think they can survive some water soluable orange paint.
"I think its unwise for politicians to sit in TV studios and pronounce which acts may or not be in accordance with international law"
