Yes you do.

Usual double standards. Does anyone have to pay for all the demos in London by migrants about issues that have no relevance to the British?

They aren't being singled out. Groups from all areas of the political spectrum, and non-political event organisers, are frequently required to pay for policing and cleanup.
