Tens Of Thousands March In London Anti-Immigration Rally; Met Police Deploy 1,600 Officers

Tens of thousands rallied in central London at a Tommy Robinson–organized anti-immigration march, met by a counter-protest. The Metropolitan Police deployed more than 1,600 officers citywide, citing prior incidents of anti-Muslim rhetoric at similar events. The demonstration underscores immigration’s prominence in UK politics amid record asylum claims and 28,000+ small-boat arrivals this year. No major incidents were reported by early afternoon, but authorities warned they would act swiftly on any offenses.
