An anti-immigration march in London called “Unite the Kingdom”, organised by Tommy Robinson and his EDL associates, drew up to 110,000 people in London yesterday, according to Police reports. Press reports estimated the figure to be around 200,000 people. The protest started from Trafalgar Square and ended near Westminster.
People from across the UK, joined the protest, many of them bused in, with the event planned up to a month in advance. Demonstrators who were overwhelmingly White and mostly men, chanted “Give us our country back” and sang “Rule Britannia”. The event marks the rising popularity of anti-immigration sentiment in Britain along with the recent sweeping victory of Reform Party in the local council elections.
Speakers at the rally included Elon Musk, who joined the protest via a live link, and gave an inflammatory speech stating that Britain needs “revolutionary government changes” and that the people need to fight back against the violent left. Other speakers at the rally included Katie Hopkins, Sarah White of (Reform Party), and Ant Middleton, and Filip Dewinter from Belgium with speakers focusing on the dangers of third-world immigration and Islam in Britain. Charlie Kirk was also mentioned with speakers praising his legacy.
A small counter-protest led by socialist groups drew a crowd of up to 5,000 people in Russell Square. Some clashes occurred with several arrests reported.
