"People have a right to peacefully protest. It's our core of our country's values, but we will not stand for assaults on police officers doing their job, or for people feeling intimidated on our streets because of the colour of their skin or background. Britain is a nation proudly built on tolerance, diversity and respect. Our flag represents our diverse country and we will never surrender it to those that use it as a symbol of violence, fear and division."
"We know that this narrative about aggressive language, violence is a way to stop us demanding Europe to be Europe. They want to put us in a box of violence, racism, fascism. I've been called a racist, I've been called an Islamophobe, I've been called a communist, I've been called a Russian asset, I've been told I'm paid by Mossad, I've been called all these names."
Keir Starmer condemned violence at the Unite UK rally, rejected assaults on police officers, and insisted on the right to peaceful protest. He warned that poor local election results could remove him from leadership. Polish MEP Dominik Tarczyński labeled Starmer a hypocrite and argued that critics are being boxed as racist or fascist to silence demands for Europe to preserve its identity. Tarczyński contrasted Notting Hill Carnival arrest and offence figures with those at the Unite event and questioned differing political responses. He listed a series of insults he has received and urged British patriots not to be deterred by perceived hypocrisy.
