Organisers of Saturday’s Together Alliance demonstration claimed 500,000 people had taken a public stand against the Far Right in London. With police estimates, as ever, much lower, it was still clearly the biggest ever national demonstration the UK has ever seen against the Far Right. ‌The banners name-checked places from near and far – ‘Chesterfield Dump Trump’, ‘Cornwall against Fascism’, ‘Nottingham Fights Back’, ‘St Albans Together’. ‌“I believe that one fine day,” the crowds sang, “the power of love will rise above the love of power”, holding placards that read ‘Folk Against The Far Right’, ‘London Sea Shanty Collective’, and ‘sing for unity’. And while every one of Far Right activist Tommy Robinson’s marches have had counterprotests, it seemed no fascists had wanted to counter 500,000 people.
