In a significant diplomatic intervention, US Vice President JD Vance has openly praised the recent “Unite the Kingdom” rally in London, encouraging British citizens who oppose mass immigration to “keep on going” and defending their right to protect their culture. Vance’s comments, made during a White House press briefing, stand in stark contrast to the rhetoric of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, highlighting a growing ideological divide between the current US and UK administrations on the issue of border control and national identity.
JD VANCE ADDRESSES UK PROTESTS During a press briefing, Vice President Vance was asked by a reporter from Gateway Pundit about his message for “globalist European leaders” following the massive “Unite the Kingdom” rally in London, which the reporter characterized as a protest against “mass illegal immigration and the replacement of British culture” .
Vance explicitly rejected the idea that prosperity is generated by “bring[ing] in millions and millions of unvetted people and drop[ping] them into your neighborhoods,” and then directed his message specifically to the UK protesters.
“To everybody in the UK who rejects that idea, I’d encourage them to just keep on going,” Vance stated from the podium. “It’s okay to want to defend your culture. It’s okay to want to live in a safe neighborhood. It’s okay to want your job to go to yourself and your neighbors… It is reasonable for the people in Western societies to want to control who comes into their country and who doesn’t.” .
He further criticized the media for attempting to persuade the public that protecting borders is “somehow racist,” arguing that low-wage immigration primarily harms lower-income minority communities in both the US and the UK .
