100,000 Tommy Robinson Supporters Clash with Police in London

Around 110,000 people gathered in London for the far-right 'Unite the Kingdom' rally led by Tommy Robinson, with an estimated 5,000 counter-protesters opposing the event. The Metropolitan Police deployed over 1,600 officers to keep the groups apart, establishing a 'sterile zone' on Whitehall to prevent clashes. Several officers were assaulted and attacked with projectiles as some 'Unite the Kingdom' protesters attempted to breach police cordons and enter the area separating the two groups. Police used force to maintain order and prevent the crowd from breaking through barriers, with footage showing clashes and officers lined with riot shields. Robinson called for calm and peaceful protests while addressing the crowd, emphasizing themes of free speech and national pride amidst the tensions. The event featured speeches from Robinson and other far-right figures, with a visible display of British and regional flags, while counter-protesters chanted slogans against fascism and racism.
