General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

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

The beeb with those massive underestimates again. It was 1 million.

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.

Rounding error?

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.
