Pro-Brexit campaigners are urging fellow protesters to “bring your vest and join us” at 1pm on Parliament Square for demonstrations against the “Westminster elite”.A Facebook event hosted by activist James Goddard includes a rallying cry to “make history” by occupying central London after bringing “mass rebellion to the capital” on Friday. Hundreds of people have shown interest in attending the event which has been widely shared on social media by blogs carrying posts about grooming gangs and right-wing activist Tommy Robinson.The event organisers appear to be linked with the protesters who stormed three bridges – Westminster Bridge, Tower Bridge and Waterloo Bridge – in central London on Friday. A group of around 60 demonstrators gathered outside the Houses of Parliament before blocking vehicles from passing on London Bridge.

After being ushered away by police, their next target was Downing Street, where they chanted pro-Brexit songs and “you’re not British anymore”.Protesters then brought traffic to a standstill on Tower Bridge, where they had heated verbal exchanges with pedestrians and motorists. Demonstrators, some of whom waving placards with pro-Brexit messages, later amassed outside the Royal Courts of Justice and then Waterloo Bridge. The group, which calls itself “Fighting for Justice”, was established in response to the deaths of teeagers George Wilkinson, Josh McGuinness and Harry Rice.

Jaynesh Chudasama, 28, was jailed for 13 years for running over the three teenage boys as they walked to a party in west London in January this year. The group were apparently emulating the "gilets jaunes", or yellow vest, demonstrations unleashing disruption and ugly scenes of violence in cities across France. The protests, which started in November, are aimed at expressing discontent with French government and Emmanuel Macron, whose tax and wages policies have infuriated the public. Thousands of protesters took to the streets of French cities on Saturday in the fifth weekend of nationwide demonstrations against Macron.
