Addressing the rally by megaphone, Cllr Satvir Kaur (Lab), pictured below, said: “I absolutely love our city because at times like this we do all come together – all ages, all backgrounds, all religions – to stand united and say, you know what: we don’t like Trump. We don’t like what he stands for and he’s absolutely not welcome in our country.”
