š£ļø Happening Today in the UK: Nationwide Protests & Restricted Airspace Over Newtown! ššŖ§


Today, the UK is buzzing with protests in various citiesāLondon, Newcastle, Dundee, and even Newtown, Powys. In the capital, over 1,600 police officers are on the ground, ensuring safety during the “Unite the Kingdom” march organised by Tommy Robinson, which promises to be the UKās largest free speech protest. Expect road closures and heavy police presence as participants rally across iconic London locations.

But it’s not just the capital in protest mode. Newtown is hosting its very own counter-demonstration led by the spirited Undod/Solidarity Mid-Wales group. Politicians and local activists are taking to the High Street from 11:45am to voice their support for diversity and unity. And in a unique move, Newtown sees a āno-fly zoneā over the town to keep aerial disturbances at bayāa rare sight over this peaceful Welsh town!
In solidarity with these movements, Stand Up To Racism is holding its national march from Russell Square to Whitehall, with notable speakers like Diane Abbott MP revving up the crowds for a day of impactful dialogue.
Scotland joins the protest wave with an event at Dundeeās Stobsmuir Park, while up north, Newcastleās Laing Gallery will see its share of protestors too.
Whether you’re in the thick of the action or watching from afar, today is a significant moment for free speech and social justice in the UK šā. Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments! #ProtestUK #UniteTheKingdom #StandUpToRacism
