London hosts massive right-wing march led by Tommy Robinson, stirring debate on British identity

Tens of thousands gathered in central London for the 'Unite the Kingdom' march organized by far-right activist Tommy Robinson, with police estimating about 60,000 attendees — one of the largest recent right-wing demonstrations in Britain. The crowd waved flags and Christian imagery, chanted against Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and heard Robinson urge political engagement while praising Elon Musk. The protest ran alongside a pro-Palestinian Nakba Day march, prompting a major policing operation and around 31 arrests across both events, costing roughly £4.5 million. Starmer condemned the rally as peddling hatred and division amid broader debates over national identity, public services, and antisemitism in the UK.
