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!

@ChrisMayLA6 I like to think more people are aware of what the fascists are up to - hence the resistance. Not helping the far right’s case is the fact that many come across as complete lunatics. It’s the ones hiding in the shadows that are far more scary.
