Tommy Robinson announces rally to unite UK 'under God'
Written by David FletcherFar-right activist Tommy Robinson has announced plans for a new ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally in central London, promoting the theme 'Four Nations. One Kingdom. Under God.' In a promotional video, Christian language and imagery feature prominently, echoing a previous rally in September which included public prayers, worship songs, wooden crosses, and banners declaring biblical slogans. Some Christian leaders have criticised the movement’s use of Christian symbols. One minister described it as an attempt to 'churchwash racism', arguing that the cross should represent Christ’s inclusive love rather than division. Former archbishop Rowan Williams was also among those condemning the earlier march. While it reportedly drew large crowds, a subsequent carol event saw lower attendance. The rally is scheduled for 16 May, coinciding with the FA Cup Final, raising logistical concerns for policing. The announcement follows Robinson’s claim that he left the UK after being named on an extremist target list.
