Over 100,000 anti-immigration protestors march in London

More than 100,000 people marched through central London on Saturday in one of the UK’s largest right-wing demonstrations in recent years, led by anti-immigration activist Tommy Robinson under the banner Unite the Kingdom, Reuters reported.

Police estimated about 110,000 joined the march, while a nearby counter-rally by Stand Up to Racism drew around 5,000 participants. Officers reported clashes as Robinson’s supporters attempted to breach cordons and reach opposing groups, with several police assaulted. Reinforcements, including mounted units, were deployed.

The march capped a tense summer marked by protests outside migrant housing. Demonstrators waved Union Jacks, St George’s Crosses, and some US and Israeli flags, with a number wearing MAGA hats. Many carried placards targeting Prime Minister Keir Starmer and demanding deportations, according to Reuters.
