The protest is the latest in what appears to be a bid to secure the former English Defence League leader’s release from jail.Active in 13 countries across Europe and North America the group has already staged half a dozen public actions in Belfast since August last year.Last week several far-right demonstrators were pictured at the rally in front of city hall giving Nazi salutes – and in the crowd next to them flew the distinctive flag of Generation Identity.The group has since said the man giving the salute was not a GI member and was doing so in response to being called a Nazi.“This is typical for the media to use dirty tactics and deceit to paint all patriotic attendees with the same brush,” the group wrote on its website.
