After leading a march to Chinatown, Tommy Robinson's decision to leave a heavily-policed area has drawn criticism on Saturday.

The planned route doesn't come within a mile of the war memorial.

In June, Robinson appeared at the High Court to be questioned over his finances at the postponed hearing, where he told the court that, in a two-year period prior to declaring bankruptcy, he spent around £100,000 on gambling – largely in casinos.

He admitted he wasted money on "drink, alcohol, partying" while receiving thousands of pounds in donations from supporters.

The English Defence League founder failed to attend a hearing in March over an unpaid legal bill after he lost a libel case.

Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was due to appear at the Royal Courts of Justice last month in connection with unpaid legal bills.

The 39-year-old accused one Greater Manchester Police Officer of trying to 'bait' him into a reaction so they could 'arrest him legitimately'.

“I’ve never caused a problem, landed for what is clearly a family holiday, and I’ve been arrested, detained and separated from my kids.”

After saying he is a journalist and pleading his case, he adds: 'I've never broken a law here. All I do at home is talk about Islam'.
