London’s Largest Anti-Immigration Protest Turns Violent, 25 Arrested

Anti-Immigration Protest: More than 110,000 people protesting against immigration have marched through the United Kingdom’s capital, London, in one of the country’s biggest right-wing demonstrations, with some protesters clashing with the police and wounding at least 26 officers.

The violence at the “Unite the Kingdom” march on Saturday came as police tried to keep the right-wing protesters apart from a group of some 5,000 rival demonstrators gathered at White Hall in central London.

Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist condemned the violence, saying while many protesters exercised their right to demonstrate, “there were many who came intent on violence… confronting officers with abuse and making determined efforts to breach cordons."

Organisers dubbed it the “Unite the Kingdom" march, framed as a free speech rally but dominated by anti-immigration rhetoric.

Robinson—born Stephen Yaxley-Lennon—hailed the turnout as a “tidal wave of patriotism" and declared the protest a “cultural revolution."

The event drew support from far-right figures across Europe, including French politician Éric Zemmour, who spoke of a “great replacement" of European populations.

Billionaire Elon Musk also addressed the crowd by video, calling for political change in Britain and claiming citizens were “scared to exercise their free speech."

Despite the march’s size, mainstream right-wing party Reform UK distanced itself from Robinson, who has multiple criminal convictions and a history of leading the anti-Islam English Defence League.

The protest attracted an estimated 110,000 to 150,000 people, according to the police, who added that the number exceeded expectations.

In contrast, the counter-protest, “March Against Fascism,” organised by Stand Up To Racism, drew around 5,000 marchers.

Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is a prominent far-right figure in Britain, known for founding the nationalist and anti-Islam group English Defense League.

Elon Musk, speaking via video link to Robinson, called for a “dissolution of Parliament” and an immediate change of government in the UK, telling crowds at the far-right “Unite the Kingdom” rally that Britain “cannot wait another four years” for an election.

He urged what he described as the “reasonable centre” of the British public to recognise that “violence is going to come to you… You either fight back or you die.”
