Musk warns 'violence is coming' at UK 'Unite the Kingdom' rally

Ofcom Complaint Template: Broadcast Amplification of Calls to Violence

Subject: Complaint About Broadcast/Platform Amplification of Calls to Violence at "Unite the Kingdom" Rally

Complaint Details:

I am filing a complaint because I believe a broadcast or platform amplified calls to violence made during the "Unite the Kingdom" rally on Sep. 13, 2025.

Background: On Sep. 13, 2025, Elon Musk addressed the "Unite the Kingdom" rally in central London by video link, saying "violence is coming to you" and "you either fight back or you die." The Metropolitan Police estimated 110,000-150,000 attendees, reported 26 officers injured (four seriously), and made 25 arrests by 19:30. The Prime Minister condemned the remarks as dangerous.

Specific concerns:

1. [Platform/Broadcaster Name] amplified Musk's remarks containing calls to violence
2. The remarks were broadcast/livestreamed without appropriate warnings or context
3. The amplification may have contributed to the violence that injured 26 police officers
4. The content violates Ofcom's rules on harmful content and incitement to violence

Evidence:

• Date and time of broadcast: [Date and time]
• Platform/channel: [Name]
• URL or program name: [If available]
• Specific quotes, "violence is coming to you" and "you either fight back or you die"

Request: I request that Ofcom investigate whether [Platform/Broadcaster Name] violated broadcasting rules by amplifying calls to violence and take appropriate enforcement action.

Dear [MP's name],

I am writing to request clarification on enforcement of incitement and public order laws at protests, particularly in light of the Sep. 13, 2025 "Unite the Kingdom" rally in central London.

Background: During the rally, Elon Musk addressed attendees by video link, saying "violence is coming to you" and "you either fight back or you die." The Metropolitan Police reported 26 officers injured (four seriously) and 25 arrests. The Prime Minister condemned the remarks as dangerous.

Specific questions:

1. What is the current legal framework for prosecuting incitement to violence at public rallies?
2. Why were Musk's remarks not immediately addressed as potential incitement?
3. What changes, if any, are needed to better enforce incitement laws at large public gatherings?
4. How can the government better prevent violence at political rallies while protecting free speech?

Why this matters: When speakers call for violence at rallies with 110,000-150,000 attendees, it creates a dangerous situation. The fact that 26 police officers were injured shows the real-world consequences. I want to understand how the law protects public safety while respecting free speech rights.

Request: I request that you clarify the government's position on enforcing incitement laws at public rallies and explain what steps are being taken to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Yours sincerely, [Your name] [Your address] [Your contact information]
