Why Tommy Robinson rally was different to any other
Sky News ^ | Saturday 13 September 2025 | Tom Cheshire

Well before the march started, thousands of people flowed over Blackfriars bridge, or came up from Waterloo station, flags everywhere, hailing from everywhere - from Yorkshire roses to the diamond of the Isle of Wight.

What exactly it was that "United the Kingdom" was left vague, for people to cheer their own particular cause.

This was billed as a free speech rally and the most common chants we heard were "Keir Starmer's a *******", "oh Tommy Tommy" and "we want our country back".

That means different things to different people.

Dawn, up from Southampton and wearing a red sequined jacket, said it was because the country was "getting overrun". She said she was talking only about illegal migration.

Not really.

A couple years ago I said to a British friend: “I can imagine a scenario where Tommy Robinson becomes PM”

Their head nearly exploded.

The MI-5 will be tracking a lot of them. Treat them like J6 folks.

After all, Tommy Robinson is a “far-right” thug.

Starmer now has a stark choice. Listen to the people, or continue on with his fascist behavior.

I’d bet my next month’s Social Security check that it will be the latter.

The police are still supporting the British Deep State. King Charlie the Stupid says nothing. And Labour has a huge majority in Parliament.

Starmer might say something conciliatory. But there is really nothing significant to make him change course.

Starmer will probably look for an excuse to arrest Tommy Robinson again.

Shocking video included:

Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧 @TRobinsonNewEra

The guardian reported “110k” at our London rally today.

Yet, literally had their own helicopter showing the millions of patriots 🤡

Legacy media proving again they’ll just lie to your face for their own agenda.

This is why nobody trusts them.

We are the media now.

I wonder what kind of king, William will make?

I looked. Much more than 110k, but I doubt “millions”.

Looks bigger than the Trump Jan 6 rally. I thought that was about a half million.

I had hope about that. Then another FReeper pointed out that William is almost as woke as his father.

So maybe Britain doesn’t need a new king. Maybe they need a Lord Protector.

Oliver Cromwell, please pick up the white courtesy phone.

I've only seen Bill Maher, John Fetterman, Stephen A. who are critical of the rhetoric by the Democratic Party. But it appears that everyone else (in the party) is with the program.

Who’s the moron that writes this sludge?

What drivel. Sky is trying to convince readers that this group wasn’t really united, but a fractured mix of disaffected people there for their own different reasons. But even reading the piece, it’s clear they were VERY united, and the central cause was uncontrolled immigration and the government cracking down on anyone who pointed out that immigrants were trampling their culture.

.."But there is really nothing significant to make him change course."

Then he's a fool. Look at those million+ angry Englanders. You know damn well, Starmer and his MPs are soiling panties.

I’ve not paid close attention to Tommy Robinson but he has a right-wing radical image, iirc.

Are he & Nigel Farage close, opponents, possibly a team ?
