YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The "Unite the Kingdom" rally was "racist, thuggish and nasty", says Will Lloyd.

Subscribe on YouTube

Over 100,000 people marched through London at the weekend in a protest promoted by Tommy Robinson (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) and attended - virtually - by Elon Musk.

Will Lloyd and George Monaghan attended for the New Statesman and join Rachel Cunliffe to report what they saw.

George tells of meeting Neo-Nazis shouting racist slurs and Nazi slogans. Will describes a "really bad" atmosphere which encouraged racism, xenophobia and violence.

They discuss the role Elon Musk has played in promoting far-right views, and in particular the intervention the X owner made by addressing the rally via video call - as well as how Keir Starmer should respond.
