Up to 150,000 people attend massive anti-immigration march in London, police say
FRANCE 24 ^ | 13 Sep, 2025 | FRANCE 24

More than 100,000 anti-immigration protesters marched in London Saturday at a rally organised by far-right figure Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, popularly known as Tommy Robinson. Police made 25 arrests after some of the attendees clashed with law enforcement officers, leaving more than two dozen injured.

As many as 150,000 protesters marched through central London on Saturday for a demonstration organised by the anti-immigrant and anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson.

The rally was met by a smaller "Stand Up to Racism", following a highly charged summer in Britain that has seen protests over immigration and free speech.

Police estimated that 110,000 and 150,000 people attended the anti-immigration rally, dwarfing the 5,000-strong counter protest.

Police said 26 officers were injured, four seriously, after facing "unacceptable violence" while trying to control the crowds, many draped in English and British flags, during several tense hours on the rally's fringes.

Officers had to intervene in multiple locations to stop Unite the Kingdom protesters trying to access "sterile areas" between the two protests, breach police cordons or get to opposing groups, London's Metropolitan Police said.

"There is no doubt that many came to exercise their lawful right to protest, but there were many who came intent on violence," Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist said.

“No, at the very, very maximum 150.000.”

The only people who believe that number are the government fascists and the propagandists in the lying media.

“Lord, into Thy hands I commend my spirit.”

These were the last words of the greatest King ever: Charlemagne, King of the Franks and Emperor of the Romans in the late 8th and early 9th centuries, 46-year reign and the revival of art, religion and culture known as the Carolingian Renaissance.

Nostalgia acts like vitamins for the health.
Good old days.

Charlemagne, King of the Franks ... the late 8th and early 9th centuries...

Legacy French Citizens are objecting to the Vichy Surrender Monkey Frog Government trying to Kill them and their families.

Perhaps Twenty First Century Frog Aristocrats will help them.

We right wingers should be trustworthy. Inventing outlandish numbers makes us look desperate, naive and childish.

We must remain serious, and say the truth. Most English media say there were 110.000, but in reality it’s closer to 150.000 - as correctly reported by French media.

However, I suggest you don’t believe anyone. Don’t fall for shady mainstream and alternative media cooking up numbers.

You can check it out YOURSELF with the crowd-calculation tool here below which we conservatives often use to contrdict lefty propaganda. It’s a do it yourself crowd-checkup tool. It’s very precise. No one has ever criticized this tool, because it based on pure math - and everyone can use it and fine-tune to get the most precise result possible.

Please fine-tune it yourself directly on the map, and don’t forget to use the slider on the right where you can elect the density : person per square M2.

150k is nothing. 1.5 million showed up at the civic center in SF. Giants had just won the pennant.

True, it’s not much compared to the 1.5 million you mentioned.
Still, 150.000 for a political rally is very good.
