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.
Isn’t London 70% Muslim? Hey Brits, there is only one was to get them out and it starts with your rulers, all of them.
It is being reported that Tommy Robinson has been arrested.
Somewhere in Hell, Hitler is smiling.
See my reply #23.
Per the UK’s own stats, 40% of London is now foreign born.
Yup
It is probably too late to save most of these countries
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..
Nonsense. All of those countries could be put right in a matter of days if not hours. Give the invaders 30 days to get out. Any who remain, forcibly deport. Any who resist imprison. Problem solved.
Per the UK’s own stats, 40% of London is now foreign born.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
And that is an excellent reason why tourists should avoid London and other such “captive” cities both here and in the EU.
I’m surprised the muslims gave them permission to march.
Agreed that the western nations COULD be put right in a matter of days.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way, for certain.
If there’s a will......?????
This month for the first time in the GE 4 independent Islamists were elected to Parliament in formerly safe Lbour seats. That is only one less than Reform got. Hardline Islamism has arrived now as a political force in Britain, and it is unrestrained by the social liberalism of the Labour party. Pure, red in tooth and claw political Islam. Expect more of them to enter Parliament in 5 years time.
They destroyed Lebanon. Tried to destroy Jordan.
Unless the police, military and the unarmed populace do something, UK is done.
The most comical part is the Labour Party thinks they’ll be able to hold onto power and form a partnership with the Muslims. Once they get control, they run everyone out and implement their Islamic ways.
Looks like another Muslim asylum seeker has stabbed a load of kids to death in Southport.
If this had happened a month earlier we’d be looking at a lot more Reform MPs. Not sure how much more has to happen before riots against migrants break out like they are doing in Ireland.
The Irish are the only western countries where the people aren’t willing to suffer what is being imposed on them gladly.
Robinson has allegedly left the country.
Must have gone too far at some point.
This was posted two days ago.
Saw that later. Sorry, Nick!
Not sure how much more has to happen before riots
My take, and mine alone ….
- liberals Brit’s don’t care because it hasn’t happened to them. If/when it does happen to them, their liberal ideology doesn’t allow them to acknowledge their failure or take responsibility. It will be Tommy Robinson’s….IE Kate Steinle’s family. Seth Rich
- I never call any of these people “leadership” especially those elected to a position. The upper echelon of MI 5 & 6, ScotlandYard, and most importantly, SAS-SBS-Royal Marines and everyone else could handle that sh*t, with a quickness. But they are all compromised at too many levels in the chain of command, to make the move.
And if a group finally says enough, especially the more SOF folks, who are the PM and government liberals gonna send if one says …. Molon Labe and they learn he has a lot of friends?
