Well I don’t believe there were only 100,000 protesters.

It’s was more like 7 numbers but the MSM won’t report that. I was in the city for another reason.

A guy on ground level confidently reckons it was a million people vs the police who deal with this kind of stuff on the regular estimate at 150k generously….who to believe?!

I was briefly lured down a rabbit hole on Twitter where various people were discussing the numbers from last weekend and someone who had claimed that there was a million+ reached out to 'Grok' asking it to calculate how many people could realistically fit in the areas that were congregated and the answer was something like 80,000*

This willy waving over protest numbers is all very Trump inauguration ceremony all over again isn't it.

Whatever the numbers, my concern is the absolute division in this country, nay the world. Having been on holiday for the past 2 weeks the only interaction with what was going on in the world was this forum. To be honest I probably should have avoided this thread as it gave me a good idea of what was going on. Costs are rising, people are angry, government is shit, continually. My personal way of coping with this is to use the mantra of 'trying not to be a cunt'. Not always easy mind!

Racists love to have strength in numbers sadly. Helps protect them from those mean lefties who use hurty words
