As always the massive Together Alliance march against the far right already involves a dispute about how many were involved - organisers claim half a million, the police say 50,000 (while admitting they found it difficult to count). That's a pretty big disparity... but film on the Guardian website suggests a big demo, so perhaps we might say the average of the two estimates - quarter of a million?

In any case, great to see people out en-masse demonstrating!

And meanwhile in the USA today has seen a range of further No Kings marches & demonstrations - if the Right thinks people will walk quietly into the fascist state they are wrong - we know what they are doing & we will not be quiet about it!
