Viewers have been left ‘absolutely terrified’ after a YouTuber went undercover at a Tommy Robinson march.
This comes as content creator Niko Omilana took to the streets of London, England, to find out what people in the far-right rally are really thinking.
In order to get to the bottom of it, the YouTuber disguised himself in a mask that gave himself the alter ego of Ron, a 60 year old white man from Stafford.

Joining the march with undercover cameramen, Niko interviewed protesters and was shocked to hear many racist and xenophobic opinions.
While speaking to one woman who was sharing her own racist views, Niko asked what she would do if she saw a Black person.
In response, she shocked viewers by saying: “Do you know what I’ve got in my bag? I’ve got three knives in my bag. I’ve got a f***ing blade.”
She added: “I don’t give a f***, me. I’ve got one in a splint box, I’ve got a Chinese blade that’ll, it’ll f***ing do your artery and I couldn’t give a f***.”
Many people took to the YouTube comment section to share their own reactions to the video, with one user writing: “The way these people started spewing the most racist things minutes after meeting you is actually insane.”
Another said: “In all seriousness, Niko is very mature for not retaliating with the same level of hatred after they cursed him out.”
A third person commented: “That lady saying she’ll kill the blacks if she saw them while her dad is from Mauritius, an african country, is crazyyy.”
And a fourth added: “We’re born into bodies we never chose, with skin tones, features, and accents handed to us like lottery tickets. Yet somehow, society decided to turn these random traits into hierarchies, as if pigment carries worth. Racism is basically worshipping accidents of birth. like judging a book by the barcode instead of the story. It’s not just cruel, it’s absurd: dividing people over something none of us had a say in.”
In other news, Elon Musk sparked controversy at a protest led by right wing activist Tommy Robinson in London after he was slammed for his ‘violence’ warning.
In the clip, the tech mogul could be heard ranting about the so-called ‘woke mind virus’, adding: “Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die, that’s the truth.”
