28 03 26@Geri as fully expected the met failed to spot around 450,000 people though. Hands up anyone who didn't expect that.

Which billionaire is Yaxley-Lennon grifting off while holidaying in America?
Oh, I see Yaxley-Lennon is on a work trip in America. Coordinating with his allies in the rightwing globalist movement

@Geri Well done!
@wood5y we were in Palestine Block from Exhibition Road
I have never seen so many flags !

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon? Yeah, I'm sure he'll pull another stunt and that the media will eat it up.
They'll bash some heads to make sure there are arrests to drive it up the algorithms.
@TCatInReality scheduled for Saturday, May 16th apparently ffs

28 03 26Reminds me of the decades of ignoring the biggest annual peaceful march in central London...
Before the modern protests caused by the Far Right rise LGBT folk organised Pride since 1967 and never covered on the news before the mid 2000s

Bedford Greens were there, they agree with your assessment of numbers, and the lack of media coverage

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqxdzn2evv5o@TCatInReality @Geri It’s interesting he was able to go at such apparently short notice…. His ESTA thing should have flagged up his multiple convictions, and his double barrelled name should have also delayed processing. But he ‘fled’ to Europe and was in the USA in about a week. Normally, the ESTA means anyone with criminal convictions of the type he has would be excluded. Maybe we don’t live in ‘normal’ times any more, especially not those in the USA.

Yaxley-Lennon already had a standing ban in the USA for trying to enter on a fraudulent passport years earlier.
Someone powerful waived that to admit him to America on short notice.
Now, who would want that?

28 03 26@Geri Awesome!
I’ve always found demonstrations to be not just displays of discontempt, but networking events. What happens after the demo often counts for more.
And of course, reality manufacturing from MSM being in the hands of the far-right is accelerating as a counter-strategy. The only thing they know is doubling down. And they are afraid!

@TCatInReality @Geri It seems he’s being sponsored by a politician named Rittenhouse. I wonder if that one is any relation to the young Kyle Rittenhouse who crossed state lines with guns and murdered non-white people: who escaped justice, and who isn’t the leader/hero the Republicans tried to make him?

Don't know who. But a Congressman wouldn't have that kind of power.
Here's a nice summary of Yaxley-Lennon's crimes and legal problems.

28 03 26@Geri It's a clear sign, but you can make sure of it only on next ballots. The sentiment of 1930s Germany isn't spreading only for today's US, it is fueled in many countries: expecially "allied" ones.

28 03 26I just looked at Sky News website and this is story number 25 after scrolling down quite far.
Yes, twenty five.
I didn't check the BBC website out of principle.

28 03 26@Geri ... organisers claim
The Met claims 50,000, so the number is probably somewhere in the middle
-
Zero stories in the #BBCNews app today
But you can read the story of people whose skin "is falling off" (story # 4)
Can't argue with those news priorities.

@budududuroiu @Geri That's not necessarily true (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_to_moderation). You'd want to take into account the track records of the various parties involved (e.g. for systematic error, and partisan reporting bias), look into the methodology used to produce the estimates, and perhaps try your hand at producing your own estimate.
As Wikipedia says: if one party claims the sky is blue, and another party claims it's yellow, that doesn't mean the sky is "probably a shade of green".

@wizzwizz4 @Geri my methodology is simple, I use the Metallica method.
I look at the Moscow 1991 Metallica concert (which was estimated at around 1.6 million attendees on an airfield), and compare
Is it likely that the picture on the left from the Together Alliance protest shows a crowd 1/3rd the size of the crowd on the right? Unlikely.
Edit: it's not that I want to pour cold water on Together Alliance, but I also realise they have partisan reasons for inflating the number of attendees
