Organized and led by Tommy Robinson, Britain’s May 16 2026 ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally/march was condemned by Prime Minister Kier Starmer as an event organized by “convicted thugs and racists peddling hatred and division. Plain and simple.”
Calling it a “march designed to confront and intimidate this diverse city and country,” Starmer argued that his “Labour government will block Far Right agitants from travelling to Britain for that event. Because we will not allow people to come to the U.K. to threaten our communities and spread hate on our streets.”
But instead of dissuading people from attending, it was perhaps the most effective promotional announcement for the event that could possibly have been scripted. Far from being attended by only 60.000 people as some Leftist media sources reported, it was by far the largest event of its kind in British history.
At the heart of the protest against the British government was the issue of Britain’s identity as a free Western nation, threatened by a flood of refugees and immigrants who not only do not share Western values, but are opposed to them.
Because the ideology of Islam was at the heart of the protest, Britain’s Leftist politicians led by Kier Starmer were doing everything possible to label Robinson and the protesters as ‘Far Right’ – meaning racist, fascist, Nazis, and all the usual ideologies properly associated with the Left.
Unfortunately too many on the Right continue to be intimidated by these labels, but finally there are signs that being called ‘Far Right’ is no longer being considered a pejorative. As one woman attending the event put it: “It’s hilarious that ‘Right Wing’ is supposed to be an insult. I’m absolutely Right Wing. Call me Far Right. Ok!”
And most remarkable was YouTuber Nick Shirley (who covered the event) when he recently commented to President Donald Trump at the White House: “We are not Far Right. Nor are we far wrong. We’re Just Right!”
Until more on the Right adopt that attitude of dismissing the Left’s labeling campaign as ‘hilarious,’ and clearly define the Right as the polarity of individualism and freedom, the Left will continue to be able to use its contrived labels as an effective propaganda weapon.
Happily, there are growing signs that this change in the Right’s approach may happen sooner than later. Ironically, in reaction to constantly being labeled ‘Far Right’ by Britain’s Kier Starmer, those attending Tommy Robinson’s Unite the Kingdom Rally turned out to be Just Right.
