Sep 14, 2025

London [UK], September 14: Police officers have been assaulted as they faced "significant aggression" from protesters at a "freedom of speech festival" led by British far-right activist Tommy Robinson, Scotland Yard said. There were nine arrests, with many more likely, the force said, as violence flared at the protest, which featured a guest appearance from Tesla and X owner Elon Musk.
Around 110,000 people were estimated by police to have gathered in Whitehall, London, for the "Unite the Kingdom" event, which faced counter-protests by around 5,000 anti-racism campaigners. Police saidthe Robinson crowd was too big to fit into Whitehall and confrontation happened when police tried to stop them from encircling counter-protesters. (PA Media/dpa)
