Huge Anti-Immigration Rally Sweeps London
14:51 GMT 13.09.2025 (Updated: 18:41 GMT 13.09.2025) Over 110,000 demonstrators took to the streets of London to join the "Unite the Kingdom" rally organized by right-wing activist Tommy Robinson, the Sky News broadcaster reported on Saturday, citing the London police.
The protesters gathered in Russell Square in the morning, from where they headed to the government quarter of Whitehall. Many shouted slogans against UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, criticizing the government's migration policy and what they consider to be restrictions on freedom of speech, Sky News reported.
Robinson himself has called the rally Free Speech Festival. Footage released by Robinson showed that some of the protesters carried portraits of US conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who died at the hospital after being shot in the neck at an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.
"The lion is awake, the roar is deafening in London as millions take to the streets against the erosion of our free speech and against those paid to lead us, given our country's away. No more! Patriotism is the future. The future belongs to us," Robinson said on Telegram.
At the same time, a counter-protest called "March Against Fascism" also gathered in the UK capital. According to the latest data from the police, there were about 5,000 participants in the counter-protest, Sky News reported.
Earlier in the day, the PA news agency reported that around 1,000 officers would be mobilized in order to maintain order and prevent clashes between the protesters and those with opposing views.
