Tommy Robinson Leads Mass London Protest Amid Police Mobilisation

On September 13, 2025, far-right activist Tommy Robinson is leading what he calls the UK’s "biggest free speech" rally in London, attracting tens of thousands of supporters and featuring speakers such as Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson. Robinson, known for his anti-immigrant views and multiple convictions, including recent imprisonment, frames the event as a cultural revolution against what he describes as a globalist breakdown of British society. The rally, which includes a tribute to assassinated American conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, is expected to march through central London, passing iconic landmarks like Westminster Bridge and Houses of Parliament. In response, the anti-fascist group Stand Up To Racism UK has organized a counter-protest named the "March Against Fascism," raising concerns about potential clashes and significant disruption in the city. London authorities have deployed over 1,000 police officers and canceled leaves to manage security and prevent disorder during the demonstrations. Coverage of the event is being independently funded through crowdfunding efforts to provide on-the-ground reporting beyond mainstream media narratives.
