In London on Saturday, Sept. 13, an anti-immigration “Unite the Kingdom” march led by Tommy Robinson drew well over 100,000 people. Police put the figure around 110,000, other reports citing up to 150,000, whereas social media sources claim over a million of participants.

Police said 26 officers were injured and 25 arrests made after clashes near Whitehall.

Comments on social media claim that those who attended the protests in London were ordinary people from across the political spectrum, including the left.

Jan Ericsson, M:

“The fact that 100-150,000 Britons are taking to the streets to demonstrate against violence, Islamism, and migration policy in the UK is quite remarkable. Regardless of who took the initiative. We are now seeing the same thing in several European countries. Europe has probably reached a turning point. Anger is growing…”

In Berlin on Thursday, Sept. 11, mourners gathered outside the U.S. Embassy at Pariser Platz. Local coverage and wire services described a modest crowd; one report put attendance at roughly 150. Reuters photographs showed candles and placards bearing Kirk’s image.

Madrid saw a candlelight vigil the same evening outside the U.S. Embassy. Footage and photos from the scene indicated a small turnout—on the order of dozens—placing flowers and holding up images of Kirk.

In Norway, police are investigating a social-media threat aimed at Amrit Kaur, leader of the Red Party’s youth wing, following her posting of a controversial TikTok about Kirk. Norwegian outlets report Kaur has since resigned her post amid backlash.
