Police clash with massive far-right Unite the Kingdom rally in London

Police clash with massive far-right Unite the Kingdom rally in London #breakingnews #unitedkingdom #protest #rally #london Violent clashes have broken out, with riot police attacked, as Elon Musk and Tommy Robinson addressed a huge crowd at a far-right rally Unite the Kingdom, dubbed a ‘free speech festival, which also saw slain conservative US activist Charlie Kirk honoured by organisers and attendees. London officials have stated 110,000 to 150,000 were in attendance, while the event’s organiser and other supporters say the number of attendees was in the “millions”. The huge crowds, many draped in English and British flags, gathered from late on Saturday morning in and around Westminster for what Robinson, a veteran of UK far-right organising, branded the country’s “biggest free speech festival”. Meanwhile, around 5,000 people turned out at a Stand Up to Racism march starting around a mile to the north, with London’s Metropolitan police deploying about 1,000 police to keep the rival groups apart. The Met said the clashes erupted after some were unable to access the main stage area and tried to enter so-called “sterile areas” near counter-demonstrators. Robinson’s latest event saw attendees march over Westminster Bridge before rallying near Downing Street for speeches by far-right figures from across Europe and North America. “The silent majority will be silent no longer,” Robinson told the crowd. “Today is the spark of a cultural revolution.” Charlie Kirk eulogised as London erupts Robinson billed Saturday as a “free speech festival” with slain conservative US activist Charlie Kirk honoured by organisers and attendees. “A cultural revolution has begun. The future belongs to us. This one is for you Charlie Kirk.” A sign showing a tribute to recently deceased US right-wing activist Charlie Kirk is displayed as protesters attend the "Unite The Kingdom" rally on Westminster Bride by the Houses of Parliament. It was one of many references at the rally to the slain right-wing American activist and ally of Donald Trump. Some attendees attached pictures of Kirk to their placards, while other signs included slogans like “stop the boats” and derided Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The duelling demonstrations come amid growing anti-immigration sentiment, as Brexit supporter Nigel Farage’s hard-right Reform UK leads in polls and protesters target hotels used to house asylum seekers. Robinson, 42, who has a string of criminal convictions and a big online following after years spearheading a fervent anti-Muslim and anti-migrant agenda, increasingly fuses those themes with claims that Britain is now hostile to free speech. He had travelled with his wife to the event, which was also being watched by more than a million viewers on livestreams. At the anti-racism event, veteran Labour politician Diane Abbott accused Robinson and his allies of spreading “nonsense” and “dangerous” lies that asylum seekers were a threat. London police, who drafted in officers from other forces to manage the crowds, have placed conditions on the protest routes and timings, insisting they end at different times and that both conclude by evening. Speakers included Elon Musk, who joined via video-link, French politician Eric Zemmour and Petr Bystron of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. “You’re in a fundamental situation here,” Musk told the crowd, claiming “the left is the party of murder and celebrating murder”. “Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die.” Asked by Robinson why he was supporting the event, South African-born Musk said: “I’m of primarily British heritage, British ancestry. “The Government has failed in its duty to protect the people.” The rally comes just over a year after anti-immigration riots swept several cities, which Robinson was accused of fuelling with incendiary online posts, and as free speech concerns become more mainstream.
