Thousands gathered in central London for the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally led by far-right activist Tommy Robinson, while counter protests marched nearby. Police deployed 1,000 officers, including 500 brought from other regions, to maintain order. Demonstrators waved Union Jacks and flags with slogans like “Stop the Boats” and “Send Them Home.” Some also carried anti-transgender messages. A man held a cross marked “RIP Charlie Kirk.” At the same time, about 500 anti-racism activists rallied with placards saying “Oppose Tommy Robinson” and “Refugees Welcome.” Police promised firm action against hate speech and urged demonstrators to remain peaceful.
