Our response

±«Óãtv London has issued a statement about this on the Corrections and Clarifications website, in which it says:

"In a ±«Óãtv London news bulletin on Saturday 15th April about a protest in Trafalgar Square we said:

'Campaigners against the ultra-low emission zone held a protest in central London today. Local protestors and mainstream politicians were joined by conspiracy theorists and far right groups'.

±«Óãtv London had deployed a reporter to the protest and she witnessed, and documented, first-hand, motifs on tabards and placards with explicit Nazi references, along with other epithets about world order and democracy.

We are satisfied the protest was covered accurately and the script was a fair description of the people and groups attending the event.

Viewers were also directed to the ±«Óãtv London website for a comprehensive look at the arguments for and against ULEZ".
