Tommy Robinson protest: How many people attended the march? | UK | News

After the far -right activist Tommy Robinson claimed that the Kingdom Rally drew “three million Patriots” on the streets of London, a bitter disagreement exploded and called the biggest protest in British history. But police estimates estimates that it has participated in a much lower level to about 110,000 – a figure that Robinson condemned as a census by “Legacy Media”.

The metropolitan police reported 110,000 participants to the main anti -immigration demonstration on Saturday, as well as an anti -anti -racist protest against racism. Reuters mentioned the figures of “more than 100,000” or “about 110,000” in the New York Times and CNBC. The air analysis by Guardian proposed a figure of 50,000, while France was estimated up to 24 150,000 – a contrary in the midst of the consensus.

The average of the estimates gives about 104,000 participants and emphasizes the gap between the claims of the organizers and the verifiable counts.

Mr. Robinson’s past demonstrations, such as 2018 Free Tommy March, draws confirmed crowds, while opposing the national events of racism, often halved by the police by the police.

Mr. Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has stocked the discussion online. He tweeted at the beginning of Saturday: “I hear the police estimate 3 million patriotic on the streets.”

In the afternoon, “Millions of people appeared for our Unite The Kingdom event !!!! This is the biggest protest in British history.”

Later, as the walk went to the summit, he added: “More than three million patriots hit the center of London with a patriotic power that has never been seen before. And we’re just starting.”

The allegations won online, and Mr. Robinson’s posts received millions of views. An update was read: “Now he made two and a half million views on x !!!” – Mixes digital access with physical participation.

The supporters greeted a “patriotic tsunami”, but critics pushed back.

The drone images, shared by Mr. Robinson, left their mark on time an hour before the summit, probably contained intense crowds that millions of people claimed.

After the event, Mr. Robinson attacked the mainstream media. Guardian’s 110,000 figures responded to: “Guardian today ‘110k’ reported in our London rally.

“Nevertheless, they had their own helicopters, which literally showed millions of patriots. The old media proves that they would lie to your face for their own agenda again.

“That’s why nobody trusts them. We are the media now.” Post reached more than 22 million views. “

Police rejected three million allegations as impossible, stating the infrastructure of London. “We had 1,000 officers to manage the executive routes, and our counts are based on real -time monitoring.”

The event exceeded the last anti -immigration flames, while 1.5 million, which attracted 1.5 million anti -Iraqi war march, was below historical criteria.

The tensions at the rally resulted in nine arrests and 26 officers of bottles and cartridges. While the Interior Minister Yette Cooper condemned the conflicts as “bandit”, Mr. Robinson accused the “antica infiltrates”. Elon Musk called the protesters “to fight or die” and weighed X.

The rally also praised the conservative activist Charlie Kirk, a fatally shot during a discussion at Utah Valley University on September 10th.

Disguised numbers underline the wider fractures on the protest scene of England. Mr Robinson framed the rally “mass migration” and “opposition to” Islamist threats “and the promising” war continues. “
