🧵1/4 The #FreePalestine #London demo drew between 750k & 1M people. The best advertising came from Home Secretary #SuellaBraverman who had branded the march a #hatemarch. She had also bullied the #MetPolice into banning the protest, but the Commissioner resisted. There was gratitude in the crowd for the #police. In a Pimlico backstreet I came across the Met folding a major #FarRight operation which would have been a very serious security threat to the families walking unawares 50 meters away
