Gran who claimed Black Lives Matter counter-protest was her 'democratic right' caged

Wendy Robson, 53, turned up at the demonstration wearing Union Jack boots and clothing as part of a group calling themselves North East Frontline Patriots.

The group, who showed up at Grey's Monument in Newcastle city centre, claimed that they were there to protect the monument from anti- racism demonstrators, Chronicle Live writes.
