UK far-right rally: AI images, old footage exaggerate 'Unite the Kingdom' turnout
About this episode
The episode discusses the far-right rally in London and the misinformation surrounding its turnout.
Waving Union Jacks, tens of thousands of supporters of far-right activist Tommy Robinson descended on London's streets last Saturday for a rally known as "Unite the Kingdom". Addressing the crowd, Robinson said "we are here in our millions", and his supporters followed suit online, sharing images of enormous rallies. In reality, London's Metropolitan Police believe 60,000 demonstrators attended, and several of the viral images online are either AI-generated or using old footage.
