Manifestationen ”Unite the Kingdom” drog stor folkmassa till London | NTD NYHETER

Huge crowds filled the streets of London on Saturday for the Unite the Kingdom rally. The Metropolitan Police said it estimated around 110,000 attendees, while organisers claimed helicopter footage showed 3 million people. It was spearheaded by Tommy Robinson, who is known in Britain for his long-standing campaigning against Britain's so-called Grooming Gang scandal, in which gangs of predominantly Pakistani heritage men systematically exploited and gang-raped white working-class girls. You are here because you love your country, you love your children, and we want a better future and a safe future for them. Robinson has been accused of being far-right, though it's a label he rejects. Elon Musk joined the event in a live interview broadcast on stage. He said Britain is facing an increasingly rapid erosion due to massive uncontrolled immigration, saying the British government has failed to protect innocent people and children, and calling for the dissolution of Parliament and a new election. Immigration has become a dominant issue in the UK, with concerns about what it means for the nation. I'm 35 years old. In my lifetime I've seen a huge change in my country. It's a country that I don't recognise anymore. It's a country that used to be one that was patriotic, proud, it had confidence in itself and the world stage. Even in the Bible, the Bible says, keep the laws of the country that you are in. So if everybody comes here, we should all know this is a Christian foundation, British culture, keep the culture, live by the values. Police appeared to be taken by surprise by the turnout, describing the rally as too big to fit on the approved route of the march, leading to a confrontation between police and protesters. There were kicks and punches, as well as bottles, flares and other projectiles thrown. Police said 26 officers were injured, while 25 people were arrested. The British government said only a small minority of the demonstrators had conflict with police. The march filled London with Union, St George's, Welsh and Scottish flags, with calls to restore Britain. You know, people are here together, and it shows that the numbers really do care, and the diversity here, it's not all far right, it's a real mixture, and when people see that, and they understand that it's not far right, they'll start to listen. I think this is exactly what the country needs, and exactly what the world needs at the moment. Every country in the world needs to be doing this, and celebrating their own country, and their own history. Demonstrators also paid tribute to Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated last week. I'm so glad all these people are here, because I promise you, the world needs to change, and the death of Charlie Kirk has changed the world forever, it has changed the world forever. We're in the UK and we're thinking about him, the whole world is, and he's making this whole movement known. Malcolm Hudson, NTD News.
