Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, organized London's "Unite the Kingdom" rally that drew over 110,000 anti-immigration protesters. The 41-year-old founder of the English Defence League is a prominent far-right figure with multiple prison sentences for contempt of court, assault, and mortgage fraud. He was recently released after being jailed for repeating false accusations about a Syrian refugee. The Saturday demonstration saw protesters carrying English and British flags chanting "we want our country back," resulting in 26 injured police officers and 25 arrests. A counter-protest by "Stand Up to Racism" drew 5,000 participants. This marked one of Britain's largest right-wing demonstrations in recent years. (PC: Evening Standard & X)
