Tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered in central London Saturday for a 'Unite the Kingdom' rally organized by far-right activist Tommy Robinson. Police estimated 60,000 attendees, making it one of the largest right-wing mobilizations in Britain in recent years.
Crowds carried St. George's Cross and Union flags, chanting 'we want Starmer out' and 'Christ is King.' Some wore red 'Make England Great Again' hats. Christian imagery was prominent, with participants carrying crosses and dressing as Knights Templar.
Robinson urged supporters to become politically active ahead of the next general election, praising Elon Musk for his public support. The demonstration coincided with a large pro-Palestinian Nakba Day march elsewhere in London.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer accused organizers of 'peddling hatred and division.' The Metropolitan Police deployed 4,000 officers, drones, and facial-recognition technology, arresting 31 people across both demonstrations. The policing operation cost approximately $6 million.
