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.
The BBC was quoting Met Police figures. The 300,000 figure was also quoted by AP, Reuters and Al Jazera. The Organisers apparently put it at 800,000. Not sure where you are getting a million from.
The 150 arrests were mostly Tory party sympathisers, who came out after the home secretary's kind words about the homeless, immigrants, and Palestinians.
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.
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.
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.
The far right groups present were mostly on the cenotaph protection thing, which the Palestine march was never going near. There were arrests there for hate speech.
