Unite the Kingdom’s new crusade has begun in the UK—and that’s a good thing
American Thinker ^ | 16 May, 2026 | Andrea Widburg

In both medieval times and now, the Crusades weren’t spontaneous Christian colonialism; they were efforts to claw back Islamic conquest.

In yesterday’s subscribers-only newsletter, I posited that Tommy Robinson is to the Islamo-socialist government of the UK what Lech Walesa was to the communist government in Poland. Through his courage, Walesa managed to knock down the first domino that led to the Soviet Union’s collapse. Robinson’s courage shows signs of doing the same against the UK’s current morally corrupt government, as evidenced by the absolutely massive Unite the Kingdom rally in London today.

The rally wasn’t just humongously large; it was also openly pro-Christian. This Christian element is important because the rally is a pushback against the British government’s open-door policy to mass Islamic immigration (both legal and illegal) and its obeisance to Muslims once they arrive, a policy invariably at the expense of non-Muslim British subjects of all races, colors, and creeds.

It should be said that the British government did its best to shut down the event, and at least one Muslim knew why:

Roshan M Salih

@RmSalih

Tommy, we have absolutely decimated your speakers list for your march on Saturday.

Please be aware that Muslims got this done, especially @5Pillarsuk which got the bandwagon rolling.

It was my pleasure.

This same government, of course, has done nothing to stop radical Muslims from marching through London regularly since October 7, 2023, with open cries for the slaughter of Jews.

Even without the planned speakers, the British people rallied in extraordinary numbers and with very Christian fervor. Importantly, as many of these videos make clear, this was not an event about race; it was about British values: [six X videos]

The government changed the permit at the last minute to move the ending time up by a few hours. Tommy Robinson started early and they got all of the speakers in. Several speakers appeared by video because the government banned their entry to UK for the event. Lots of tricks by the Starmer government

Tommy Robinson. The Brits are just angry enough to do it.

It would be simple. The Brits could pass a law ordering the expulsion of all immigrants. Round them up. Kick them out.

Costs money and they need a place to dump them. Countries won’t take them. Then what? Genie is out of the bottle.

No doubt the Scotland yard facial recognition programs will be working overtime to ID as many of these hooligans as possible and prosecute/persecute them as soon as possible. 😠

not just islam(which is collectivist) but all collectivists must be defeated if people are to remain free

collectivism has many names

but the result is always the same

the state is primary

the citizen is a slave

43 arrested by last count.

I’d like to know how many from the pro-Palestine protest vs. the Unite the Kingdom rally.

If I had to guess, knowing the current state of Britain, I’d say they all came from the Unite the Kingdom rally. I wouldn’t be surprised if “Tommy Robinson” was arrested (again).

In his “History of the English Speaking Peoples” Churchill related what happened in England in 1848. While bloody anti-establishment revolutions were breaking out all over Europe in that year, in England a couple of hundred people showed up for a rally in a downpour. After politely talking to the police for a few hours, they all went home. Then-Prime Minister the Duke of Wellington observed “The English are a remarkably peaceful people”. To which Churchill added “This is especially so when it is raining.”
