US EditionFar-right activist Robinson holds concert to ‘put Christ back into Christmas’
- Recently, far-right activist Tommy Robinson led a carol concert in central London billed to `put the Christ back into Christmas`, with hymn sheets, a band, and vendors selling St George's flags and Santa hats.

- Officials warned protests must not disrupt Londoners and visitors, as the gathering combined worship with St George's flags and Santa hats, while a priest shouted that `Jesus had been a migrant` and a woman who worked with former offenders spoke about Christianity.
