So a million people
from that 59 million at home you can deduct, the under 16's, the very elderly, the infirm, those that simply were unable to get to London that day. and you have over 2% of what's left turning up in London that day. Coach loads of people from hundreds of miles away turned up to represent larger groups of people that couldn't make it.
I was there and it was a massive protest, I was awestruck by the size of it. But ultimately achieved nothing. If a million people can march upon London and achieve nothing then what happens when the next million people march upon London that little bit more pissed off, believing that peaceful protest is worthless?
I disagree with violent protest, but when a million people get organised enough be in one place at the same time to protest something their government is doing, that government would be wise to at least acknowledge it. They just pretended nothing had happened.
