Callum Flynn, 29, of Belgravia Gardens, admitted using or threatening unlawful violence during a demonstration in Whitehall on July 31.
A previous court hearing was told a group of officers were called to deal with a demonstration in Whitehall shortly after 6pm that had been organised by so-called “cultural nationalists”.
Flynn pleaded guilty to the charge on Saturday (August 10) and was produced from custody to Inner London Crown Court for sentencing on Tuesday (August 13).
However, Flynn had no legal representative and the court heard his legal aid application had been rejected.
Judge Benedict Kelleher told him: “You are facing a serious offence and I’m sure you’re aware that custodial sentences are being handed out in similar cases.”
He asked Flynn if he will be able to fund a legal representative himself.
Flynn told him: “I won’t be able to fund it. I already lost my job so there’s no way I would be able to fund it.”
However, when asked if he wanted to represent himself he said he didn’t.
Judge Kelleher subsequently adjourned the case for two weeks to allow Flynn to seek legal representation.
