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!

@ChrisMayLA6 I was at the London march today, and I live smack bang next to a major football club ground. I know what 50,000 looks like, and it was WAY more than that.

They did the same when we marched against blairs war. The met are shite at counting.

@ravensrod @ScriptJoy @ChrisMayLA6 The Met said 110,000-150,000 for the fascist Unite the Kingdom march.

Looks like deliberate political bias to me.
