Patrick Hutchinson’s decision to carry a far-right protester to safety became the defining image of last summer’s anti-racist movement
Patrick Hutchinson doesn’t normally attend protests. He says he prefers to bring about change through other means. But when he saw a video of Tommy Robinson calling on far-right activists to descend on London last summer to protect national monuments, the 50-year-old grandfather of four knew he couldn’t stay at home and just watch things unfold on TV.
“I felt obligated because I grew up in the 90s and 80s, when the National Front was constantly terrorising the black community,” he said.
