British bad boy Tommy Robinson led yet another "Unite the Kingdom" march in London on Saturday. I've written a lot before about previous Unite the Kingdom marches, as well as Operation: Raise the Colors, in which evil right-wing Brits "weaponize" the English flag by flying it in public. POLITICOEurope reports that Robinson "is broadly unpopular in Britain" — except among members of Nigel Farage's Reform UK Party.

Speaking of the Reform Party, they pounded Prime Minister Kier Starmer's Labour Party in the recent election. Nigel Farage looks like a lock to be Britain's next prime minister.

Early results from nationwide elections in Britain suggest a historic defeat for Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour Party and sweeping gains for hard-right Reform U.K., led by Trump ally Nigel Farage. https://t.co/ABxSBTasxW

"Broadly unpopular."
Here's an interview with one of those "far-right" supporters.

Saturday's march coincided with what New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani reminded us is Nakba Day, the day a coalition of Arab nations lost a war against Israel. As such, London was also filled with pro-Palestinian marches. Note that all of these people who think Robinson should be assassinated like Charlie Kirk are carrying Palestinian flags.
SHOCKING EXCL: “Shoot him in the neck like Charlie Kirk” far-left protesters call for Tommy Robinson to be “hung like Mussolini”.

I don’t think incitement to violence on EITHER side is right. Calling for anyone’s death is too far. pic.twitter.com/fq3OErVKtE
Robinson is broadly unpopular with people who want Israel wiped off the map.
"The public believes many more people support the far-right activist’s mass protests but are afraid to admit it, according to The POLITICO Poll."
In addition to Robinson’s march at the weekend, thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators will take to the streets of London. Respondents to the survey, which was run before the weekend’s events, were asked for their views on Israeli and Palestinian marches.
When it comes to sympathy for protesters’ motives, there tends to be a clear partisan split. More than half of Labour voters — 53 percent — said they agreed or strongly agreed with the idea behind protests “against the actions of Israel in Gaza.” For Conservatives, the figure was 26 percent, and among Reform UK voters, 22 percent.

So he's broadly unpopular, except amongst the supporters of the most popular political party at the recent local elections? Would that not make him broadly popular?

Robinson claims millions, but it was more like tens of thousands who turned out for the Unite the Kingdom march. Still, not a bad showing for someone who is broadly unpopular.
