A rally organized by activist Tommy Robinson, known in the UK for his anti-Islamic views and as a controversial nationalist figurehead, is set to take place in London on Sept. 13, amid a background of recent growing anti-immigration sentiment.

Named the “Unite The Kingdom Free Speech Festival,” its website says that it will make the British capital the “beating heart of a national awakening.”
