Met Police to put 1,600 officers on streets as London braces for violence ahead of Tommy Robinson protest
The Standard ^ | September 12, 2025 | Rachael Burford

The Metropolitan Police has called in hundreds of reinforcement officers from across the UK and is seeking to reassure Muslim Londoners ahead of Tommy Robinson’s “Unite the Kingdom” protest.

Thousands of people are expected at the far-right activist’s “free speech” rally on Saturday, while Stand Up To Racism UK has organised a counter-demonstration expected to attract a similar number.

The Met will also deal with policing several football matches, including derbies between West Ham and Tottenham and Brentford and Chelsea, while Arsenal, Crystal Palace and Fulham all play fixtures at home.

More than 1,600 officers will be deployed as part of the overall public order policing operation in the city, including 500 drafted in from other forces.

Around 1,000 officers will be responsible for the two protests taking place in central London, the force said.

Not that they would admit it, but I’ll bet the police are far more concerned about violence from the jihadi counter protestors than the Brits protesting the slashing of their civil rights, not to mention the slashing and raping of their wives and daughters. The Brits better be ready to protect themselves in case the police can’t. Or won’t.

In Europe anyone who believes in borders and believes that European culture is superior to the cultures of certain far off places is “far right”.

I certainly could be wrong and I sincerely hope I am...but I believe that Britain has passed the point of no return...that Britain cannot be saved.

There’s definitely a possibility of a false flag operation.

Soft targets. Islamists in London.

Yeah...there’s a few possibilities.

I would have agreed with you a year or so ago. But having been born and raised there, I can tell you the powder keg of the silent majority has had enough. This rally will be MASSIVE. People from all over the UK are coming. Of course, suddenly, there’s “unscheduled train maintenance” announced....but people will get there.

Finally, they all know just how dishonest the media and their politicians are. They’re not represented. They didn’t vote for this. It’s just getting worse. To crush dissent, free speech is gone, dozens of arrests per day. Their daughters are scared of the migrants. On and on.

The recent “raise the flags” rebellion has been truly epic. Patriots raising flags everywhere, taken down in the areas conquered - only to be put back up x2. They’re FINALLY finding their feet.

Then Charlie Kirk, whom spoke and debated at the famous Oxford Union just a few weeks ago, declaring free speech in the UK was dead, is assassinated 3 days before the event. They’re going to honor him as well.

If it’s a huge flop....then I’ll agree with you - but I doubt it. If something happens to Tommy Robinson (organizer), like Charlie, it’d explode.

Yet, Stand Up To Racism UK, carries no such labels. Odd, isn’t it?

They’re protecting and reassuring the MUSLIMS!!!!!!

What about the people who *elected* them and support them with their taxes, and don’t commit heinous cries against humanity? You know the NATIVE Brits?

Unless the common Brit populace ca take back their country, they are not long for this world as anything but a muslim caliphate which will do nothing but destroy a rich culture, a rich heritage and productive farmland. Britain will become another wasteland and when islamist take over most food producing countries, then who’s going to send them *humanitarian aid* to support them?

Islam is and has always been a terorist organization & political party
Islam has its’ judicial system (Sharia law)
Islam has its’ religious system (”allah” aka satan)
Islam has a totalitarian culture

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you’re illiberal.

If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you’re a fundamentalist.

If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you’re a totalitarian.

If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you’re a terrorist.
