If several thousand people march, say, against Brexit and boast about how many people were on the march, yet the number (even at its most exaggerated) turns out to be fewer than the 17.4 million people who voted to leave the EU, then they are failing to remember than votes count more than the number of placards borne aloft on a few streets.

The Largest Political Protest in History. #MillionWomensVoices". <br /><br />That's disputable. even if the 1 million figure is correct. There seems to have been two even-larger Washington DC protests: a pro-gay rights rally in 1993 & women's rights in 2004. both going over the million mark.<br /><br />https://qz.com/887192/the-largest-marches-on-washington-dc-topped-one-million-people/ Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741318067991857821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-86413027556217224562017-01-22T09:01:50.030+00:002017-01-22T09:01:50.030+00:00Her Twitter feed is in full-on activist mode at th...Her Twitter feed is in full-on activist mode at the moment.

Clearly there were a great many in some American cities, but how about here - did the BBC pull it's usual trick of filming from a carefully chosen camera angle so that a few hundred might pass for several thousand?Sisyphushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02650372666915304667noreply@blogger.com
