Massive Turnout at London Rally
On September 13, 2025, more than 100,000 people filled central London for a rally titled “Unite the Kingdom.” The event was organized by Tommy Robinson, a controversial figure known for his anti-immigration activism. Police estimated the crowd at around 110,000, making it one of the largest protests in modern British history.
The guardian reported “110k” at our London rally today.
Yet, literally had their own helicopter showing the millions of patriots 🤡
Legacy media proving again they’ll just lie to your face for their own agenda.
This is why nobody trusts them.

The rally focused on immigration, national identity, and frustration with government policies. Protesters carried English flags, Union Jacks, American flags, and Israeli flags. Many wore MAGA hats as chants of “Stop the boats” and “Send them home” echoed across the city streets. Alongside those messages, people honored Charlie Kirk, the late American activist. Supporters held pictures, raised signs in his memory, and chanted his name throughout the demonstration. (MORE NEWS:Fake Jobs Boom Exposed: Nearly 2 Million Vanish)
Counter-Protesters Gather
While Robinson’s supporters dominated London streets, about 5,000 counter-protesters also turned out. Their message centered on opposing what they described as xenophobia and far-right extremism.
Police prepared for both groups with a massive deployment. More than 1,600 officers, including mounted units and riot teams, patrolled London. Buffer zones separated the rallies, though some protesters attempted to cross the police lines. Authorities reported repeated efforts to breach the cordons, which led to clashes.
Violence and Arrests
Although organizers promoted the rally as peaceful, violence broke out. Officers reported bottles, flares, and other objects thrown from the crowd. Police confirmed that 26 officers were injured, four of them seriously. Injuries included broken teeth and concussions.
At least 25 people were arrested. The charges ranged from assaulting officers to damaging property and engaging in violent disorder. Authorities stressed that while the majority of attendees stayed within the law, a smaller but aggressive group escalated the situation.
Political Tensions Rise
The rally came at a time of growing division in Britain over immigration. Record numbers of migrants crossing the English Channel this year have intensified calls for action. Asylum centers and migrant housing have become focal points for protests across the country. (RELATED NEWS: Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the Deep Immigration Divide)
For many supporters, the demonstration represented more than a call for stricter immigration controls. They described it as a stand for free speech, national sovereignty, and resistance to political elites. Critics, however, argued that the march reflected growing far-right influence and hostility toward immigrants.
Elon Musk’s Message
One of the most striking moments came from Elon Musk, who addressed the crowd by video. He warned that immigration was being used as a political tool.
“There’s a massive incentive on the left to import voters. So if they can’t convince their nation to vote for them, they’re going to import people from other nations to vote for them. It’s a strategy that will succeed if it is not stopped.”

Musk also expressed wider concerns about Britain’s future. He said free speech and open debate were being stifled. According to him, the BBC enables policies that erode national identity. He argued that mass migration was causing rapid social change, that the government had failed to protect its citizens, and that Britain now stood at a crossroads between decline and renewal.
His remarks drew thunderous applause from the marchers and quickly spread across social media, intensifying the debate over Britain’s direction.
Robinson’s Video Message
After the rally ended, Robinson recorded a thank-you video from his car. He praised the crowd for making history and called for continued involvement.
“Every one of you helped us make history today. The fight is not over, it’s just starting. We need all of you to get involved. Everyone. We’ve all got a role to play. Don’t talk about change. Be the change. Thank you to Elon Musk, man. What a moment… Twenty minutes of Elon Musk’s time, he gave that time to you, the British public. He spoke up for us. He continues to fight for us for free speech. As has Donald Trump. As has JD Vance. So when you voted to save America, it wasn’t a vote to save America.. Everything wouldn’t have happened today without your vote. It’s a vote to save the West… we are fighting back.”

The video circulated widely online, energizing his supporters and tying the event to a larger international movement.
Opposition Voices
Stand Up To Racism and allied groups used their counter-protest to call for tolerance and inclusion. They argued that immigration strengthens the UK and warned that Robinson’s message was dangerous. Leaders urged the government to take a stronger stand against what they called the rise of far-right extremism.
Police praised both sides for mostly staying within their designated areas, but they acknowledged the day was marked by tension, confrontations, and disruption. The Metropolitan Police said it would review its planning after so many officers were hurt.
What Comes Next
The “Unite the Kingdom” rally showed how immigration now dominates British politics. Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces pressure to act, and inaction could spark more protests.
The counter-protest highlighted Britain’s divide. Opponents of Robinson’s message plan to intensify their campaigns, while his backers push harder for change.
Immigration debates have left Parliament and moved to the streets. Leaders must confront issues of security, housing, and identity while protecting freedoms.
The London rally proved immigration is Britain’s defining political fight, and the government’s response will shape the nation’s future.
