A London march organized by far-right activist Tommy Robinson drew more than 110,000 people and became unruly on Saturday as a small group of his supporters clashed with police officers who were separating them from counterprotesters.
Several officers were punched, kicked and struck by bottles tossed by people at the fringes of the "Unite the Kingdom" rally, Metropolitan Police said. Reinforcements with helmets and riot shields were deployed to support the 1,000-plus officers on duty.
Twenty six police officers were injured — four who were seriously hurt, including broken teeth and a concussion, a possible broken nose and a spinal injury. At least 25 people were arrested for offenses including violent disorder, assaults and criminal damage, and the investigation continues, police said.
"There is no doubt that many came to exercise their lawful right to protest, but there were many who came intent on violence," Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist said. "They confronted officers, engaging in physical and verbal abuse and making a determined effort to breach cordons in place to keep everyone safe."
The rally drew an estimated crowd of between 110,000 and 150,000 people, far surpassing expectations, police said. The rival "March Against Fascism" protest organized by Stand Up To Racism had about 5,000 marchers.
At one point, the larger crowd stretched from Big Ben across the River Thames and around the corner beyond Waterloo train station, a distance of three-quarters of a mile (around a kilometer).
While the crowd was large, it fell far short of one of the biggest recent marches when a pro-Palestinian rally drew an estimated 300,000 people in November 2023.

Police said, the Robinson crowd was too big to fit into Whitehall and confrontation happened when police tried to stop them from accessing the area from different routes.
A spokesman said: “When officers moved in to stop them, they faced unacceptable violence. They were assaulted with kicks and punches. Bottles, flares and other projectiles were thrown.
“Nine arrests have been made so far for various offences, but many more people have been identified as committing offences.”
By any measure, a success. We heed to stay out of the crowd count game imo. It goes nowhere. Britain and Australia did us all proud today. Canada, meanwhile, solidified its own foreign takeover.
CBS News had to add this little item to downplay the significance of the rally:

In other words, CBS wants us to know that the rally is useless when compared to the Pro-Hamas population in the UK.
But then, we have reports like this that counter their narrative:

MILLIONS HAVE TURNED UP FOR OUR FOR OUR UNITE THE KINGDOM EVENT!!!!
This is the biggest protest in British history.
> far-right activist Tommy Robinson
He’s anti-rape.
Both counts were lies.
RE: Both counts were lies.
If you know the correct count, please tell us.
No, media. Not anymore. It's not "far-right," and you know it. It's "anti-Left." And conservatives should begin using that term whenever possible. Millions more every day are realizing it's the Left that is their sworn enemy, and we need to encourage that realization by using the correct terminology.
It Takes Nearly 3 Minutes to Fly a Drone Over the Massive Protest in London Rumble video
The title of that video is actually incorrect. At the end the drone flies up higher and higher to get a broader view and it still never shows where the crowd thins out. Fake News is still lying!
Is it millions or naught?
Anecdotally, I’ve watched the aerial footage as I am sure have you, it appears to to be several hundreds of thousands. If you believe Tommy, it was millions total participation. Or you can trust a media that has been lying for decades.
Far right in Europe is moderate left. CeeBS should know that.
Its now or never for the UK and those wanting their freedoms.
The politicians are pretend neutered by the courts into inaction.
Many decisions in the UK are now being done via the judiciary and not by politicians, not dissimilar to how that demonic Obama creature and his sycophants are attempting the same thing in the States with their Marxists Judges ignoring Supreme Court rulings.
Keir Starmers World Economic Forum installers need the chaos of invasion with the overlay of outsiders to native freedoms flooded in to allow their ‘Great Reset’ to move forward.
They must shutdown whatever level of free speech has ever existed there to keep the middle class population from consolidating opposition.
They ultimately intend to digitally tokenize everything, require a CBDC and Digital ID and use Social Credit Scores to control the population, all while using their own manufactured chaos as the reason its desperately needed.
They’re making change but it ain’t easy with Starmer and all the globalists hanging on like leeches to power.
That is very good, JennysCool. From now on I will never refer to myself as right-leaning, rightwing, Republican or conservative again if asked how I stand on politics.
I will say I am anti-left. I have a feeling it will be understood immediately by whoever I say it to.
Yep, “far right”. Meaning normal.
It should be apparent to every thinking person by now that the Left offers nothing but constant condemnation and chaos. They no longer offer anything of value.
When did they?
LIARS! There were at least a million people out there!
That’s a very good question.
it was said to be over a million....
but a million is more than 110,000 people, so I guess see b.s. can claim they were not lying there...
