I don’t think you can even find 3 million braincells within the crowd!

A lot of effort is clearly being spent by the far-right to spread the narrative that three million did turn up.

If you’re going to make up insane, ludicrous, figures, just go all out. Say 60 million people turned up or something. Act like almost the entire population of Britain turned out to support you. It’s just as realistic as claiming 3 million, and you’d still have people trying to justify it anyway.

Tommy Robinson says a lot of things, most of which should also be ignored.

He was so drunk he was seeing double 5 times. (not exact)

Arguing over the number is pointless.
The real problem is that there isn’t a single political leader in this country who can draw a crowd this size, and that is a frightening thought.
We clearly have a lack of capable leadership.
Redundancies have increased
Unemployment is up
Cost of living keeps rising
Inflation seems unstoppable
Massive government debt keeps increasing

Lol the Iraq protest in 2003 was estimated between one million and two million. Aerial shot of the Saturday one looked like a section or that protest so I’d say the met numbers are more accurate.
Won’t stop the childish coke fiend from making up numbers though, someone should explain it to him keys.

To be fair, that thick cunt has never been able to count.

So the criminal liar is lying about something? Other than what his own name is, of course.
Must be a grift going on. Our Tommy doesn’t lie for free you know.

If we accept the BBC figures of 150,000, it’s actually 5% of that

Another week in London, another protest.
Every time the protesters claim 5 billion people attended and the opposition claims it was definitely no more than 25…

Almost like Right Wingers love hyperbole and exaggeration as well as fake news and BSing.

The pictures suggested well under 3m, but comfortably over 100k.

Honestly, I had little frame of reference. I googled the capacity of Wembley stadium and subsequently the crowds going to and from there. Using that as a metric (whilst not perfect) I would say it definitely wasn’t much over 150,000

Brandolini’s law. “The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude larger than that needed to produce it.”
There really needs to be some kind of legal repercussions for political figures blatantly lying like this. The amount of irreparable damage it causes to society, getting people worked up around things that just bloody aren’t occurring, is maddening.
We’re going the way of MAGA and I absolutely detest witnessing it.

You have to be incredibly dense to believe it was three million. 100K + is still a lot anyway. Even if it is a fraction of those turning up to the second referendum rallies a few years back.

So tired of all this. Truth appears to be completely irrelevant as a concept now, it’s just repeat bullshit as loud and long as you can until people just give up refuting it.

Every organiser or organizing entity hugely overinflates attendance numbers of demonstrations, gatherings and interventions. Particularly if the event was relatively large.
Obviously anyone is free to blame the inflated count on Robinson, citing drug use, drunkenness, mental deficiency etc.
But if these are true, then by implication, these reasons are why every other organising political activists do the same thing.
I’m not convinced that making Tommy Robinson a folklore boogieman is the best way of breaking down and dismantling the real core of what he represents.
Maybe I’m wrong though, just an opinion.
