what is the tommy robinson march

The Tommy Robinson march, known as the "Unite the Kingdom" rally, was a large right-wing demonstration held in London on September 13, 2025. It was organized by far-right activist Tommy Robinson, attracting an estimated 110,000 to 150,000 people, making it one of the largest right-wing marches in recent UK history. The march was primarily an anti-immigration and nationalist protest, with participants waving English and British flags, and carrying slogans against immigration and the current government. The event was marked by clashes between some of Robinson's supporters and the police, resulting in 26 police officers being injured, four seriously. Police arrested at least 25 people on charges including violent disorder and assault. The police deployed over 1,600 officers to manage the protest and a counter-demonstration organized by the Stand Up To Racism group, which attracted around 5,000 participants. Elon Musk made a virtual appearance at the rally, expressing support and calling for political changes. The atmosphere of the rally combined elements of a political protest and a festival-like mood. The event has been described as tapping into broader nationalistic sentiments and social grievances in the UK, though it also generated significant controversy and condemnation due to its far-right associations and the violence that occurred during the march.
