LONDON, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 13: Police contain supporters of Tommy Robinson at the top end of Whitehall during the "Unite The Kingdom" rally on September 13, 2025 in London, England. Far-right activist Tommy Robinson (also known as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) has invited supporters to hold a rally in central London entitled "Unite The Kingdom". The former English Defence League leader and his supporters are actively islamaphobic and racist and have been behind much of the unrest seen outside hotels housing migrants this summer. Stand Up To Racism are mounting a counter-protest to today's rally. (Photo by Guy Smallman/Getty Images)
