Central London saw thousands of protestors backing Tommy Robinson in a rally, chanting “We want our country back”.
“Biggest patriotic rally”
Waving flags and singing songs, the demonstrators gathered at the Royal Courts of Justice as the starting point of their march to Trafalgar Square
Tommy Robinson has declared this rally, entitled the ‘Uniting the Kingdom’ event, to be the “biggest patriotic rally the UK has ever seen”.
The crowd has been heard singing “Rule Britannia” before their march in London.
Metropolitan Police in action In response to the protest, the Metropolitan Police have descended onto central London, with over 1,000 police officers in and around the rally to keep the peace this afternoon.
The officers are also on high alert due to two demonstrations taking place just two miles from each other; the Stand Up To Racism march, set up as a counter-demonstration to Robinson’s, and the Trans Pride march.
The Metropolitan Police reported that the majority of its officers on duty today are tasked with keeping the conflicting groups apart from each other in an attempt to minimise threat levels.
Police have warned that although leaflets have been suggesting the Stand Up To Racism rally will finish in Trafalgar Square, it will in fact end in Whitehall by police orders.
‘Uniting the Kingdom’ The Uniting the Kingdom event has seen crowds gather on The Strand, a major street in the City of Westminister, before marching to Trafalgar Square.
An array of flags can be seen waving in and amongst the crowd, including the British, English, Scottish and Welsh flags, as well as other flags adorning symbols of Israel, the former Shah of Iran and the military heraldry.
Demonstrators looking to make more noise have begun climbing on top of phone boxes and up poles, with others lighting red flares.
Other placards can be seen expressing the protestors’ views, such as, “Not far right, just right”
The crowd can be heard chanting “England, England, England”, adding “England till I die”, as they start the march.
Robinson on live stream
Tommy Robinson, appearing on a live stream in front of thousands of people gathered outside the Royal Courts of Justice, stated “A line in the sand has been drawn”.
Robinson added “This is the biggest gathering of patriots Europe has seen, and its happening in Great Britain. Get your people organised, unify your countries.”
Anti-Islamic chants could also be heard as the rally continued through London, with Robinson stating “Enough is enough, a line in the sand has been drawn. We’re being replaced no longer.”
When Robinson’s rally reaches Trafalgar Square, Tommy Robinson and his right-wing peers will give speeches to the crowd.
Opposing rallies in London
London is also seeing two other rallies happen today; Stand Up To Racism and Trans Pride.
The rally organised by Stand Up To Racism and other groups, including Jeremy Corbyn’s Peace & Justice Project, will see protestors gather at Russel Square before marching down Embankment to finish their march at Whitehall.
Whitehall is located less than 400 metres from Tommy Robinson’s far-right march.
Police have stated they will keep the two protests separate from each other, warning that they “Need to keep opposing groups apart to keep the peace. We’ll take action against any breaches of conditions”.
The Metropolitan Police also reiterated, on X, that “Some flyers online suggest the Stand Up To Racism march will finish in Trafalgar Square. This isn’t the case. There are conditions requiring it to finish in Whitehall.”
The left speak out Organisers from the Stand Up To Racism group stated online, “We are stressing the need to come together and build once again the kind of broad united movement that can drive back the threat as we have done before”.
Samual Sweek, from the Peace & Justice Project, added, “The rise of the far-right and fascist politics in Britain and across Europe is a cause of great concern for us all.”
Sweek went on further, stating “The political establishment has allowed breathing space for hate and division in our communities, we must stand with those targeted by the likes of Tommy Robinson and his thugs.”
Samuel Sweek succinctly summed up the efforts of their rally, stating “We refuse to cede any ground to bigotry, racism, Islamaphobia, homophobia, transphobia or any other form of hate they attempt to bring to our streets.”
There will also be a march in support of Trans Pride in London today, with activists marching from Langham Place to Wellington Arch.
Although the majority of the members at the Trans Pride rally have opposing views to Robinson’s, it has not been labelled a counter-demonstration to his group’s protest and no conditions have been imposed upon them.
London will be packed Tommy Robinsons’ right-wing rally started this morning and is expected to last until 5:30 pm today, while the Stand Up To Racism rally started at 1:30 pm.
Then why didn’t they vote to get back ?
Tommy Robinson is a true patriot. And he represents what is perhaps the last hope for saving Britain. For that reason alone I’m surprised he hasn’t yet had a fatal “car accident”.
And as a side note, the UK Deep Staters are idiots. They think they can control the surging Muslim vote for their own purposes. Just as the Prussian elite thought that they could control the Nazi street rabble for their own purposes.
Uh, no.
A lot of Muslim voters are unhappy with Democrats because of transgender, LGBT etc.
Tommy Robinson is pro-White and a patriot. He wants to preserve White European culture, traditions, and heritage.
One would think.
I don’t think their votes mean much. Toss in all the illegals and Muslims.
The powers that be has allowed their votes to be diluted. Just like here.
Robinson and supporters have to come to the grips with the fact that cleaning that country out, because there will never be assimilation….just like here…is going to be rough and potentially very violent.
The people can’t protect themselves and a radical Leftist is in charge of law enforcement, intelligences and the military. All 3 of which, if they decided, could cleanse the country, quickly, once they break the huddle and start.
And I think that would have a domino effect with the other countries.
yeah, that ship has already sailed...
Good point. The dwindling value of the ballot box due to fraud, overwhelming media bias propaganda and suppression of free speech (as in a certain country 😉) make a civil war an outlet in the UK. They had a chance to vote against the Marxist/Muslim side.
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." [Remarks on the first anniversary of the Alliance for Progress, March 13, 1962]” ― John F. Kennedy
They invented racism. It’s payback they’re dealing with.
They just need to vote harder, or something
A lot did in their recent election. It was mainly a “fire the worthless lying Tories” election. But it was called too quickly for Reform to line up good candidates and run an effective race to replace them on the right. And the way their voting system worked Labour and the LibDems got a lot more seats than their vote totals deserved while Reform got d*mn little for its. But at least Reform is now in Parliament, which supposedly makes future growth much easier. Now it needs time for Labour to screw up as badly as Tories did- which seems inevitable- and for habitual still Tory voters to recognize their votes are wasted there and shift to Farage. And then for new elections.
the ruling elite has sold out UK to the Islamic invasion, just like’s been done to France, Italy, Belgium, Sweden, USA, Canada, Australia, etc.
It is probably too late to save most of these countries
They did, it was stolen just like ours was and will be again if we can’t stop it. The globalists are dealing their power play and it’s world wide.
A little late no?
^This^
Yes, just like here.
BUMP
It’s past time to point to “voting.” The REAL question why is hard leftism so appealing to Britains for several decades? Answer: worldview that has been pushed from their educational systems.
Whoever is teaching the masses, wins their worldview.
Just like here, leftist cults, as we have seen, mostly can’t reproduce on their own. That’s why they are so fiercely in control of leadership in education. It doesn’t matter how great of a candidate or cause that is just and on the side of goodness if more and more voters enter the ballot box as they reach 18 with a world view that is cemented in leftism. Couple that with illegal ballots….
I wish Tommy luck but England is lost. Too little too late and most Brits are fine with the way things are.
