Tommy Robinson rally smaller, government blocks 11 activists.

The "Unite the Kingdom" rally in London was a distinctly lower energy event compared to last year's, which was the biggest far-right gathering in British history. Tommy Robinson organised the march, gathering in Parliament Square on Saturday. The government blocked eleven international activists from entering the UK, and Sir Keir Starmer accused organisers of peddling hatred.
