In September 2025, a massive anti-immigration protest, organized by far-right activist Tommy Robinson under the banner "Unite the Kingdom," drew over 100,000 participants to the streets of London. The demonstration, aimed at British immigration policies, was marked by controversial chants and clashes with law enforcement. A tweet from "Thomas Sowell Quotes" highlighted the contentious nature of the protest, stating, > "British patriots protest against Muslim immigration policies in the UK. They are chanting: 'Allah, Allah, who the f*ck is Allah...'"
This rally represented one of the largest right-wing demonstrations in recent UK history, with police estimating between 110,000 and 150,000 attendees. Tommy Robinson, also known as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, a prominent far-right figure and founder of the English Defence League, spearheaded the event. The protest was billed as a "free speech festival" but largely focused on anti-immigrant and anti-Islam rhetoric.
The demonstration featured highly offensive and Islamophobic chants, including the widely reported "Allah, Allah, who the f*ck is Allah," as noted in social media posts and news reports. Protesters also chanted "we want our country back" and displayed signs demanding an end to illegal migration. This rhetoric underscored deep-seated anti-Muslim sentiment among some participants.
The large-scale protest was not without incident, as clashes erupted between demonstrators and police, resulting in injuries to at least 26 officers. Reinforcements, including riot shields, were deployed to manage the crowds and separate them from smaller counter-protests organized by groups like "Stand Up To Racism." Several arrests were made during the day as tensions escalated.
The "Unite the Kingdom" march occurred amidst a summer of heightened debate over migration in the UK, fueled by misinformation regarding asylum seekers and an incident involving a stabbing in Southport. European far-right politicians and figures like Elon Musk, who joined via video link, amplified the anti-immigration message. Prime Minister Keir Starmer later condemned the violence, emphasizing the right to peaceful protest while denouncing attacks on police.
