On September 13, 2025, British activist Tommy Robinson spearheaded the “Unite the Kingdom” rally in central London, attracting an estimated 110,000 to 150,000 supporters in a massive show of patriotism and resistance against government policies. The event, billed as a defense of free speech, national heritage, and border security, saw participants gather and march through Whitehall, waving Union Jacks and St. George’s flags while chanting for the reclamation of their country. Robinson, a vocal critic of mass illegal immigration and elite overreach, hailed the gathering as a “tidal wave of patriotism” uniting everyday citizens against a system he said favored unchecked migration over British communities.
Rally Momentum
The rally began peacefully, with large crowds from across the UK demanding tighter immigration controls and an end to government use of hotels to house asylum seekers. High-profile speakers included Elon Musk via video message, French right politician Éric Zemmour, and Petr Bystron of Germany’s AfD party, all of whom fired up the crowd with warnings about the consequences of mass migration. Robinson emphasized the rally’s role in exposing establishment failures, promising that the event would serve as the spark for a broader movement to hold leaders accountable on borders and free expression. Chants of “We want our country back” and “Oh Tommy Tommy” echoed through the streets, underscoring frustration with policies seen as prioritizing migrants over local communities.

Key Endorsements
In a surprise video appearance, tech entrepreneur Elon Musk blasted “massive uncontrolled migration” and warned that “violence is coming… you either fight back or you die.” His intervention was widely cheered by attendees, adding international weight to the event. Tributes were also made to U.S. conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who had recently died, positioning him as a figure of inspiration for those resisting what speakers described as cultural erosion.
Aftermath Tensions
As the day wore on, clashes broke out when a small group of protesters threw bottles and projectiles at police near a counter-demonstration of around 5,000 people. According to the Metropolitan Police, 26 officers were injured—four seriously—and 24 to 25 arrests were made in connection with public order offenses. More than 1,500 officers had been deployed across the capital. Police commended the overwhelming majority for their peaceful conduct while swiftly containing outbreaks of violence.
Robinson concluded the rally by vowing more demonstrations, framing the day as a historic victory for “patriots pushing back against a disconnected elite.”
