So, the only “hate” here was from the people opposed to a ceasefire! Time for Braverman to go.

    It was more than 300k, I’m no expert but my reference was the Anti-war protests that opposed the Iraq intervention, and whilst it wasn’t bigger than that, it was close.

    Also it was totally peaceful, no police around. Police presence increased near the end, on Vauxhall bridge road, but just to block people from spilling into some sidestreets (not all).

    Police were friendly to be fair. Looks like all the trouble they had was with Cruella sympathisers. Go figure.

    One of the biggest march in British history. Its honoring remembrance day to see that peace is truly a British value. Hope politicians will get some clues.

    Happy to see and hear that the world doesn’t want to see other humans dying when it can all be prevented.

    As a Canadian who has his complaints about our mother country … I’m proud of what the British people are showing.

      Yeah and the freedom convoy in Canada was 2 millions if you were to listen to the morons that were there.

      Truth is it’s pretty much impossible to have a precise number past a certain point and the people inside are probably the worst people to ask.

      1 million would be 1.5% of the country’s population or 11% of London’s population, I’m sorry but I doubt that.

    Do the anti-semitic chants by some on the pro-Palestine march not count as hateful then?

    The last time far-left supported far-right was in 1939. With Molotov-Ribbentrop pact left-wing USSR joined forces with right-wing Nazi Germany. This union ended up with the Holocaust as we all know.

    Now, when I see left “progressives” teaming up with right terrorist groups on a basis of hating Jews, it doesn’t make me feel good.

      Mate you are talking out of your arse here.

      No, the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact did not cause or lead to the Holocaust. Jewish people were already being persecuted and sent to concentration camps long before 1939.

      I don’t think you know what’s going on that’s not what’s happening. No one is joining up with any terrorist groups. All that is happening is that people are saying that maybe the war shouldn’t be happening the terrorist groups need dealing with but the way you do that isn’t to bomb the entire civilian population out of existence.

      I know it’s complicated

        Wars are not “happening”. One group of people attack another group of people, and another group of people have to defend themselves. In order to “stop war” you’re saying that another group of people should just die without fighting back.

          If you just going to make stuff up then there’s no point talking to you.

          We are calling on Israel to stop attacking Gaza. Literally nothing else is happening. There’s no other conspiracy there’s no other plan.

          Go look it up or don’t.

      You’re going to have to be a bit more concrete with your assertions rather than use the vagueries of “left” and “right”.

      Can you state exactly what you saw so we can dismantle your assumptions one by one please.
