A video capturing an anti-immigration protester, draped in England’s red and white St George’s Cross, buying an Indian snack during a far-right demonstration in London, has sparked a debate on social media.
The video was filmed on Saturday during the “Unite the Kingdom” march, organised by far-right activist Tommy Robinson. The protest drew over 100,000 people and followed the recent shooting of American conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. Demonstrators marched through central London waving the Union Jack and England’s flag, chanting slogans and displaying MAGA hats and Israeli flags, according to ABC News.
As crowds made their way from the Southbank Centre towards Westminster, chanting “We want our country back,” one protester was caught on camera pausing at a food stall to buy onion bhaji, a popular Indian street snack.
Sharing the video, an X handle @MikeTown44 wrote, “Can’t make this up.”

The video garnered over seven million views, and ignited a debate. “There is nothing wrong with experiencing other peoples cultures and food. The problem is when other people try to disregard and force to assimalte to their culture when they are the immigrant or illegal immigrant. I find it fantastic to appreciate other people and their history,” a user wrote. “I see no issue. None of the ppl want immigrants out. They want illegals out,” another user commented.
“This is the multiculturalism the West can handle. Make us Your food and do nothing else,” a third user reacted. “Not a racism protest brother, a protest against illegal immigration. They’re supporting these small businesses,” a fourth user reacted.
London is currently seeing one of the largest far-right demonstrations in decades, with approximately 110,000 people marching through the heart of the city in a rally led by Tommy Robinson. According to The Guardian, the event has been heavily centered on the recent killing of US conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
