In an ironic turn of events, a protester draped in England's flag was spotted enjoying Indian snacks — onion bhajis — during a major anti-immigration march in London on Saturday, leaving the Internet in splits!

Over 1,00,000 people took part in the protest organised by Tommy Robinson, chanting "We want our country back" as they marched south of the River Thames towards Westminster.

The viral video, racking up over 10.2 million views, showed the protester buying treats from a stall selling Indian goodies like onion bhajis.

Reactions online were predictably hilarious: "Marching against immigrants fuelled up on samosas and onion bhajis 😂," said one.

Another quipped, "Racist buying an onion bhaji before he protests against immigrants. Bro you'll starve if immigrants leave the UK."

With around 17,64,000 overseas Indians in the UK (per Ministry of External Affairs data), the video underscores the UK's complex immigration debate intertwined with issues of racism.

Groups like 'Stand Up To Racism' and 'Unite the Kingdom' represent counter voices in a divided nation.
