The right-wing and anti-immigration march “Unite the Kingdom” passed through the streets of London yesterday. According to various estimates, between 110,000 and as many as 3 million people took part in the event organised by right-wing activist Tommy Robinson.
“We are taking back our Christian Europe, because it is our home. Now I want you to know that you are not alone. We, Polish conservatives, support you. We want to be one great European family together with you, the British,” said PiS MEP Dominik Tarczyński to the gathered demonstrators.
The right is gaining strength in the United Kingdom
On Saturday afternoon, London hosted a large demonstration – the Freedom of Speech Festival – organised by Tommy Robinson. The demonstrators wanted to express opposition to Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s migration policy and to the problems connected with public security.
As the right-wing activist emphasised during the demonstration: “Patriotism is the future. The future belongs to us!”
“The lion is awake, the roar is deafening in London as millions take to the streets against the erosion of our free speech and against those paid to lead us, given our country’s away,” wrote Tommy Robinson in a post on X.

The crowd, which marched from Stamford Street in Southwark and concluded on Whitehall, home to key government departments such as the Cabinet Office and the Ministry of Defence, displayed a sea of flags, from England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, as well as the Union Jack.
According to the Metropolitan Police, about 110,000 people took part in the event. Organisers, however, claimed that around 3 million attended, with millions more watching the demonstration on X. In contrast, the counter-demonstration, held under the slogan “Stand Up To Racism”, drew only about 5,000 protesters. To prevent any incidents, a group of around 1,000 police officers set up barriers between the two demonstrations.
Over THREE million patriots hit central London today in a force of patriotism never seen before.

Be brave, fight for your country
Among the speakers, alongside Tommy Robinson himself, were former Donald Trump advisor Steve Bannon, PiS MEP Dominik Tarczyński, journalist Katie Hopkins, George Simion (leader of Romania’s Alliance for the Union of Romanians, AUR), and Elon Musk.
“Only one man could have made this happen. That man is Tommy Robinson,” Katie Hopkins told the tens of thousands present. She reminded the crowd that “the British authorities are trying to silence people like her and Tommy Robinson.”
Elon Musk, speaking via online connection, told the demonstrators that what Britain needs is a “dissolution of Parliament” and a “change of government.”
“My message to you is very clear. Be brave, fight for your country. We are no longer the silent majority. You will decide the future of your country and the future of Europe. Let us make Britain ‘Great.’ Let the world know that our Christian civilisation built this continent, a continent for which we have also laid down our lives,”
said PiS MEP Dominik Tarczyński.
