Em um sábado de maio, Londres tornou-se palco de uma tensão antiga e sempre renovada: a disputa sobre o que uma nação é, e para quem ela pertence. Tommy Robinson conduziu dezenas de milhares pelas ruas da capital britânica, enquanto o Estado respondia com sua maior operação de segurança em anos — câmeras de reconhecimento facial, milhões em libras e milhares de policiais. O que se passou nas ruas foi visível; o que se constrói nas urnas, para 2029, é a questão que permanece.
