The march, led by controversial anti-immigration activist Tommy Robinson, drew around 110,000 supporters according to police, while a nearby counter-protest organized by Stand Up to Racism attracted about 5,000. Officers had to step in several times as Robinson’s marchers tried to push past police lines and reach opposing demonstrators.

The rally was branded “Unite the Kingdom” by Robinson, who presented it as a stand for free speech and national pride. Demonstrators waved the Union Jack and the red-and-white St. George’s Cross, with some carrying U.S. and Israeli flags, and even donning MAGA hats in support of Donald Trump. Placards reading “Send Them Home” were spotted in the crowd, while chants targeted Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Police confirmed that several officers were assaulted during the day. Reinforcements, including officers on horseback and others in protective gear, were deployed across London, with more than 1,600 officers in total mobilized for the protests, football matches, and major concerts happening simultaneously in the capital.

“We want our country back, we want our free speech back on track,” said Sandra Mitchell, a rally attendee. “They need to stop illegal migration into this country. We believe in Tommy.”

Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has long been a polarizing figure. While he claims to be a journalist exposing government corruption, he carries a string of criminal convictions. Even Reform UK, the anti-immigration political party now leading in polls, has kept its distance from him.

Saturday’s demonstration also carried an emotional undertone, as activists paid tribute to Charlie Kirk, the U.S. conservative figure killed in a shooting earlier in the week.

The march capped off a summer of growing tensions in Britain, where protests have increasingly targeted hotels housing migrants. Immigration has now eclipsed economic concerns as the top political issue, with more than 28,000 people crossing the Channel in small boats this year alone.

Commander Clair Haynes of the Metropolitan Police stressed that the force would continue to police protests “without fear or favour,” but warned against “offensive chanting and anti-Muslim rhetoric” seen at past rallies.

With English flags painted on roads and hanging from windows across the country, supporters say they are fighting for national pride. But for anti-racism groups, the message is much darker one of growing hostility toward foreigners at a time when Britain is more divided than ever.
