More than 100,000 people took to the streets of central London on Saturday for a rally led by the anti-immigrant and anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson.

The BBC reports that the demonstration, billed as the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ march, saw crowds gather south of the River Thames before heading towards Westminster.

By midday, the streets around Waterloo were filled with union jacks, St George’s crosses, Scottish saltires and Welsh flags.

Some demonstrators also waved American and Israeli flags, while others wore “Make America Great Again” hats in support of US President Donald Trump.

Placards carried slogans such as “Stop the Boats”, “Send them Home” and “Unite the Kingdom”, alongside banners from anti-transgender activists.

Recently, Britain has witnessed protests trying to block hotels from housing asylum seekers.

One protester carried a large wooden cross with “RIP Charlie Kirk” inscribed on it, referring to the US activist killed in a sniper attack on Wednesday while speaking at a Utah university. Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, described the march as a celebration of free speech and a tribute to Kirk.

A stage was set up in Whitehall, where speeches were delivered by figures including Steve Bannon, Trump’s former strategist. Bands also played songs referencing “freedom” and Robinson himself.

COUNTER PROTEST
Meanwhile, thousands also joined a counter-protest by anti-racism campaigners dubbed “March Against Fascism”, organised by Stand Up To Racism (SUTR).

Demonstrators held placards reading “Women Against the Far Right”, “Oppose Tommy Robinson”, and “Refugees Welcome”.

The two groups of demonstrators were divided by a line of police officers.

POLICE DEPLOY HEAVY PRESENCE
The Metropolitan Police said more than 1,600 officers were deployed across London, including 500 borrowed from other forces in Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Devon and Cornwall.

The police said barriers were set up to create a “sterile area” between the two groups of protesters.

It also added that some officers had been “attacked with projectiles” and used force to prevent breaches of security cordons.


Clair Haynes, who is leading the policing operation, said officers were prepared to act “without fear or favour”.

“We will approach them as we do any other protests, policing without fear or favour, ensuring people can exercise their lawful rights but being robust in dealing with incidents or offences should they occur,” Haynes said.

“Officers will take a firm line on behaviour that is discriminatory or that crosses the line from protest into hate crime.”

The force said it had chosen not to deploy live facial recognition technology but acknowledged “particular concerns” within Muslim communities.

It cited a “record of anti-Muslim rhetoric and incidents of offensive chanting by a minority at previous marches”. Haynes urged London’s Muslim residents not to alter their plans or avoid central London.

“Stop the Boats” and “Send them Home”

Britain is sending back the hapless citizens of nations destroyed in collaboration with their stooge leaders but allowing the same corrupt leaders like Buhari, Tinubu etc to enjoy the best life can offer in their country?

This is grossly unfair. Send the useless African and Asian leaders back instead, stop them from making your country their loots-securing safe haven and blacklist them from coming in.

PANDORA PAPERS: Buhari visited Tinubu in corruption-tainted London villa acquired by Oyetola

Governor Oyetola, a relative of Mr Tinubu, may have sabotaged his own country by buying the exotic property as Nigeria made to seize it.
ByNicholas IbekweandTaiwo-Hassan Adebayo October 7, 2021 in Headline Stories, Pandora Papers Reading Time: 8 mins read

It was a meeting of two of Nigeria’s most influential politicians in London – President Muhammadu Buhari was visiting political kingmaker and senior member of his ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.

In July, the presidency announced that Mr Buhari was heading to London for an education summit. The office also added that the president would also see his doctors for “medical check-up”.

Coincidentally, Mr Tinubu, who had travelled to London earlier, was also receiving treatment for an undisclosed ailment in the British capital. So, a perfect setting for both men to meet was created.

Britain should should have known by now that with many nations smarting out from the neo-colonialist and all the evil of the imperialists era, many will like to pay them back in their own coin.

So if it like, let it continue to accept all manner of radical religious fellas in the name of being woke, liberalism or gaddamned human rights. The ripple effects are all there for the world to see.
