2025年9月13日，倫敦市中心爆發被視為近年最大規模的遊行活動，現場聚集超過十萬人，引發全英社會高度關注。這場名為「Unite the Kingdom（團結王國，振興英國）」的集會由極右翼人物Tommy Robinson發起，主要訴求是反對移民政策，並將矛頭直指英國政府近年來的移民安置措施。

在白廳一帶，眾多本地白人支持者手持、甚至身披米字旗，將街頭染上濃烈的民族主義色彩。他們呼喊口號，並聆聽Tommy Robinson的演說。Robinson在台上猛烈批評政府，聲稱當局通過法案允許大批移民入住酒店，導致「非法移民的權利被放在英國本地人之上」。這一言論迅速引發台下人群的共鳴與激烈回應，氣氛極度高漲。

Robinson還在演講中特別提到數日前發生在美國的事件——保守派活動家Charlie Kirk遭槍殺。他暗示這起事件背後可能涉及美國政府，並將之解讀為對保守派人士「言論自由」的打壓。他強調，Charlie Kirk因表達反對移民、反對巴勒斯坦、反對女性主義以及LGBTQ+群體權利等立場而遭遇不幸，警告這種趨勢若不制止，將威脅整個西方世界的言論自由。然而，與右翼群體同時出現在現場的，還有另一股同樣龐大的群眾。他們是反對種族主義、支持巴勒斯坦與難民權利的團體。這些人高舉標語，如「難民無罪」、「女性反對極右翼」、「拒絕種族歧視」等，與右翼遊行者形成了鮮明的對比。雙方聲勢相當，使得這場遊行不僅僅是一次政治訴求的表達，更成為英國近年最具張力、最能凸顯社會分裂的群眾運動之一。

為避免事態失控，倫敦警署投入大約一千名警力，並從其他地區緊急調派五百人支援。警方在兩派人群之間架設隔離欄，努力維持秩序，防止衝突升級。儘管如此，現場仍有數十名滋事者被逮捕，足見活動的激烈程度。這場遊行不僅反映出英國社會對移民問題的嚴重分歧，也突顯極右翼與反種族主義陣營之間日益尖銳的對立。隨著經濟壓力與移民政策爭議持續發酵，倫敦這場空前規模的遊行，很可能只是更大社會對抗的序幕。

On September 13, 2025, central London witnessed what is being described as the largest protest in recent years, with over 100,000 people taking to the streets. The demonstration, titled “Unite the Kingdom: Revive Britain,” was organized by far-right figure Tommy Robinson and centered around opposition to the UK’s immigration policies.

In the Whitehall area, large groups of predominantly white, native-born supporters wrapped themselves in Union Jack flags, filling the streets with strong nationalist symbolism. They shouted slogans and gathered to hear Robinson’s fiery speech. Robinson attacked the government for passing laws that, according to him, allow migrants to be housed in hotels at the expense of locals. He argued that “illegal migrants’ rights are being prioritized over those of British citizens,” a claim that drew loud cheers and fueled an already tense atmosphere.

Robinson also referenced the recent shooting of American conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who had been outspoken against immigration, Palestine, feminism, and LGBTQ+ rights. Robinson suggested that Kirk’s killing may have been orchestrated by the U.S. government, framing it as part of a broader attempt to silence right-wing voices. He warned that freedom of speech in the West is under threat and that Kirk’s death should serve as a wake-up call.

At the same time, a large counter-demonstration unfolded in the same area. Anti-racism activists and pro-Palestinian groups gathered in force, carrying placards reading “Refugees Are Not Criminals,” “Women Against the Far Right,” and “Say No to Racism.” Their numbers rivaled those of the far-right marchers, creating a dramatic standoff. This convergence of opposing groups transformed the event into not just a political rally, but also a powerful reflection of Britain’s deepening social and ideological divides.

The Metropolitan Police deployed about 1,000 officers, with an additional 500 brought in from other regions. Barriers were erected to separate the two sides and prevent direct clashes, though the tense atmosphere inevitably led to scuffles. Dozens of agitators were arrested during the course of the day.

The protest underscores the growing polarization in the UK, where immigration, identity, and national direction remain highly contentious issues. It highlights the rise of far-right mobilization but also the equally determined resistance from anti-racist and progressive groups. With Britain still facing economic strain and ongoing debates about its immigration policies, the London protest may prove to be just the beginning of larger confrontations to come.
