"The prime minister's official spokesperson said: The UK is a fair, tolerant and decent country. The last thing the British people want is this sort of dangerous and inflammatory language. He said it threatened violence and intimidation on our streets, adding: I don't think the British public will have any truck with that kind of language."
"Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage, said it was horrendous that 26 police officers were left injured, adding: There is no defence of some the violence used on Saturday. I feared something like that would happen. But I repeat the vast majority of people that turned up were good, ordinary, decent people."
"violence is coming and you either fight back or you die."
Elon Musk appeared by video link at a London rally and told a crowd that "violence is coming and you either fight back or you die." The event was organised by Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (Tommy Robinson) and attracted an estimated 110,000 to 150,000 people. Police reported 26 officers injured, at least 25 arrests, and attempts by demonstrators to breach cordons while subjecting officers to physical and verbal abuse. Downing Street condemned Musk's language as dangerous and inflammatory and warned it threatened violence and intimidation on the streets. Keir Starmer condemned intimidation of minorities, and Nigel Farage criticised the violence while defending most attendees.
