Over 100,000 people joined an anti-immigration rally in London led by far-right activist Tommy Robinson, while 5,000 joined a counter-protest. The “Unite the Kingdom” march began peacefully but later turned violent near Whitehall and Trafalgar Square. Police said officers were attacked with bottles, flares, and punches, leading to nine arrests. Riot police and horses were deployed to control crowds. Elon Musk appeared via video link, calling for a UK government change, while Katie Hopkins also spoke. Counter-protesters, joined by MP Diane Abbott, rallied against racism. The Met Police ordered both demonstrations to end by evening. (PC: BBC)
