London “Unite the Kingdom” Rally Sparks Divided Reactions Across the Political Spectrum

Tens of thousands gathered in central London over the weekend for the “Unite the Kingdom” march, organised by nationalist figure Tommy Robinson, with turnout estimates ranging from 110,000 to over a million depending on the source. Supporters framed the event as a defence of British culture, free speech, and national pride, voicing concerns about high levels of migration, cultural change, and what they see as unequal treatment under the law. Many carried Union Jacks and signs with slogans like “Stop the boats” and “We want our country back,” while others paid tribute to U.S. conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was recently killed. Critics, however, described the march as a far-right gathering rooted in anti-migrant sentiment, with counterprotesters rallying under the banner “March Against Fascism” to promote inclusion and oppose hate. The event highlighted the deep divisions in the U.K. over immigration, identity, and political discourse, with each side accusing the other of threatening the nation’s democratic values.

Watched it  from Australia. To the BBC who claimed 100K to 150K, they must have had their heads up some dark place.

From looking at the drone footage I think way over one mil and possibly closer to two. And with only nine (Some say 24) arrests they should all get a pat on the back.

I'd say it was a huge success.

 

Ant Middleton saying he is going for the Mayors job in 2028, I really hope he romps in and disposes of that Kahn character, who is next to useless.
