UK Prime Minister says his government will not “surrender” the national symbol to Unite the Kingdom demonstrators UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has criticized anti-government protesters in London, telling them to keep their hands off the national flag, which he said represents “diversity,” not the “division” they promote. Thousands attended the “Unite the Kingdom” rally on Saturday, organized by right-wing activist Tommy Robinson, who described it as “the UK’s biggest free speech festival.”
