Tommy Robinson is set to lead the 'Unite the Kingdom' march in London, with a controversial lineup that includes a paedophile hunter, a disgraced former MP, and TV personality Ant Middleton. The event has faced disruptions as the UK Home Office blocked at least seven far-right figures from entering the country. Police are deploying 4,000 officers and advanced surveillance to manage the expected 50,000 attendees amid concerns over hate speech and public order.
