Britain Rises: A Patriotic Awakening the Establishment Cannot Contain
By Tom Armstrong
Something fundamental shifted in Britain on September 13, 2025. In the heart of London, a sea of flags unfurled and hundreds of thousands…no, millions of ordinary men and women marched together for an idea: That Britain must remain Britain, that its borders must be defended, and that its culture, heritage, and people deserve respect. Or else.
Naturally, the mainstream press dutifully downplayed the numbers, claiming “just” 110,000 to 150,000 attended. But I was there, and I can assure you that nobody who was there believes it. It was far larger, at least one million, but probably nearer three. And it did not appear out of nowhere. It was the culmination of months of patriotic ferment across the country; anti-illegal immigration protests outside migrant hotels, towns and villages covered in Union Jacks, lamp posts wrapped in flags, and St. George’s Crosses painted defiantly on roundabouts, all exploding into London, shaking Britain’s rotten ruling class to its core.
For months leading up to September, grassroots resistance has been boiling. Local communities discovered that hotels in their towns were being filled with illegal immigrants, placed there without consultation. These “asylum seekers,” many of them young men of fighting age arriving by boat across the English Channel, are often rightly associated with an increase in crime, especially sex crimes against women. Many think they are intended to be the Globalist Establishment’s army against the British people.
Citizens stood outside hotels, waving flags and demanding answers. Parents asked why their children were denied housing priority while strangers were given free rooms, meals, and stipends. Workers questioned why their taxes supported foreigners while their own wages stagnated. Pensioners wondered why their local services were cut back while new arrivals received generous benefits.
This local anger coincided with a broader cultural surge: Operation Raise the Colours. Beginning in August, the British began covering their communities in flags. Lamp posts were wrapped in the Union Flag. Crosses of St. George (England) appeared on mini roundabouts. Entire neighborhoods raised their banners, sending a clear message: this land is ours; this culture is ours; we are still here.
The Establishment was horrified. Local councils sent workers to strip flags from poles. Bureaucrats claimed the displays were “unauthorised” or even “dangerous.” Newspapers smeared the flag movement as “far-right.” But the flags kept going up, spreading across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, and then into Ireland and even into Europe. The more the authorities tried to erase them, the more they multiplied. By September, the patriotic mood had become unstoppable.
Tommy Robinson called for a national rally: “Unite the Kingdom.” On September 13, London was transformed into a river of red, white, and blue. Union Jacks, St. George’s Crosses, St. Andrew’s Saltires (Scotland), Welsh Dragons, and the Red Hand of Ulster (Northern Ireland) waved above vast crowds. Families came with children on their shoulders, veterans marched with medals pinned to their jackets, and working-class men and women filled the streets in defiance of politicians and media elites who have dismissed them for decades.
