Metropolitan Police riot officers clash with a protestor during the Unite the Kingdom London March rally held on 13th September 2025. On Saturday an estimated 150,000 protestors joined the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ demonstration, organised by the far-right extremist, known as Tommy Robinson. Yet despite trouble being widely predicted in advance, the Met deployed just 1,000 officers and arrested just 24 protesters.
