100,000 people took to the streets in protest, Musk calls for a change of government in the UK

On the 13th, large-scale demonstrations and protests erupted in London, the capital of the UK, and clashed violently with the police.

This large-scale anti-immigration protest in the UK was not sudden. Since July this year, sporadic protests against immigration have broken out across the UK. The sudden assassination of Charlie Kirk gave ambitious right-wing activist Tommy Robinson (Figure 1) an opportunity to challenge the UK government.

Robinson framed the death of Charlie Kirk as a "murder by leftists" and directly pointed the anti-immigration demonstrations at the UK Labour Party government, implying that the Labour Party and the "leftists" who killed Charlie Kirk were on the same side, in order to attract various right-wing groups to support him.

It should be said that Robinson's strategy indeed worked. In just London, he managed to gather more than 100,000 participants in the demonstration. This group included British citizens and local right-wingers, as well as right-wing politicians from European countries such as Germany and France, and even Elon Musk made a show of support for Robinson - he claimed on social media that the UK now "must dissolve parliament and hold new elections" (Figure 3).

Certainly, looking at issues should not only focus on the surface. For many years, the color revolutions initiated by the United States around the world, as well as Donald Trump's two consecutive victories in 2016 and 2024, have obviously provided ambitious people in various countries with a path to incite populism, split society, and quickly gain political capital under the banner of "supporting national interests."

For example, the rise of Japan's Nippon Ishin party completely copied Trump's script, and today's Tommy Robinson, who is inciting British citizens to protest against immigration, also raised the slogan of "protecting the future of Britain."

Therefore, it can be anticipated that the return of Trump and the impact caused by the assassination of Charlie Kirk are spreading throughout the Western world.
