The Saturday the United Kingdom saw the largest patriotic march in its history with estimates ranging from 100-600 thousand attendees marching through its capital London waving its national flags. The people marched under the banner to “Unite the Kingdom”, and it was billed as a free speech festival though this did not feature prominently in the rhetoric from the stage. There were a lot of speakers from around the world who urged the crowd not to forget that Christianity was the foundation upon which the country was built. There were many others who warned that not only Britain, but all European countries could not culturally survive mass immigration of peoples from Islamic countries. It was telling that old conflicts were put to one side, the crowd were addressed in French by a French nationalist, and a speaker unfurled the Irish Tricolour on stage embossed with the words of the proclamation of the Irish republic; their messages were the same – we need to put past differences behind us because we face a common threat—that of the Islamification of our lands. A Christian church group from New Zealand performed the Haka before ritually tearing up flags one marked with Secular Humanism and the other a Muslim Brotherhood flag to pronounce their power broken in the United Kingdom. The message was clear as a people in the United Kingdom we’d turned from God to an atheistic secular humanism and in doing so beckoned the Islamification of these isles, and that the solution was to repent, turn back to God, and stop importing the enemies of Christ, the followers of Muhammad, into our lands. A rape survivor from a Muslim child rape gang spoke of her harrowing experience on stage and how Muslim Labour councillors conspired with police to allow her attackers off. This brave woman didn’t back down however but fought to see her attacker behind bars who was eventually given a 37-year sentence for his crime. Her message was clear we can’t let the establishment who did this remain in place, they must be removed from office and justice must be brought for the victims. Hundreds of thousands stood for a minute’s silence to honour Charlie Kirk hailed as a Christian Martyr after watching a pro-life tribute to Charlie Kirk. The tribute was made of videos of Charlie and his family with a voice over of Charlie speaking about how we don’t have a right to murder someone because of their age as every human is made in the image of God. The rally began with the singing of protest and Christian worship songs, followed by the crowd uniting in the Lord’s Prayer, and ended with singing Jerusalem.
