why is london protesting today

The protests in London today are primarily driven by a massive anti- immigration rally called "Unite the Kingdom," organized by far-right activist Tommy Robinson. The protest, which has attracted over 110,000 participants, is fueled by rising anti-immigrant sentiment in the UK, particularly concerning migrants crossing the English Channel in small boats. Protesters are demanding stricter immigration controls and expressing nationalist sentiments, with slogans such as "We want our country back" and calls to stop illegal migration. The event has also involved clashes with police, resulting in injuries to 26 officers and numerous arrests. The protest has sparked counter- demonstrations around the city, reflecting deep divisions on immigration and nationalism in the UK recently.
