The gigantic march through the whole of central London yesterday took in
Hyde Park Corner, Marble Arch, Ox St, Holborn, City,down to Embankment, Parliament Sq & back to HPk. Still ppl in Ox St when it finished. Nine miles of people. Many hundreds of thousands.

It must have been over 500,000. That makes it the biggest since the Iraq War march 18 years ago; bigger than the Brexit demonstrations and the Countryside Alliance marches.

And yet all but ignored by the media save one police charge in Hyde Park once it had mainly ended.

Here is a time lapse video. While Adam later revised his estimate downwards, a critic in reply suggested it was ‘only’ 600,000-700,000. That seems right given the length of the march. https://twitter.com/adam_stratford_/status/1385980973255471107?s=

And yes, in about ten miles and 3 1/2 hours I saw no violence, hardly any police and a good natured march.

This will and must continue. There must never be another lockdown. In *any* circumstances.

This thread copies an earlier one in which I had taken an aerial photograph put up in reply to Adam Stratford that I was told wasn’t of yesterday’s march. Please share any aerial photograph but with care.

People were obviously angry with the government, “opposition”, media and establishment; but very happy to be a part of a growing movement against them.
