\n Tim Booth, the frontman of James, has said he was left “disgusted” after the band’s song Sit Down was used.\n<\/p>\n
\n The popular song was played on a large screen set up on Whitehall, which displayed several speeches from far-right politicians and celebrities.\n<\/p>\n
\n It came as thousands attended Robinson’s, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, march in London yesterday, with a separate counter-protest also taking place.\n<\/p>\n

\n Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Booth said: “Disgusted to see the cynical use of \u2018Sit Down\u2019by Tommy Robinson.\n<\/p>\n
\n “No permission was granted, and we are looking into our options.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The song and most of our topical lyrics make it very clear where we stand, and it\u2019s the antithesis of this organisation.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Booth has fronted the English rock band James since it formed in 1982, and since its reunion in 2007.\n<\/p>\n
