"Our estimate is now that there are half a million people on this demonstration—the biggest demonstration ever against the far right. And it gives us all confidence to carry on. Thank you very much."
"The turnout today is the largest anti-racist march that I have seen in my lifetime, and you should all be proud of yourselves for coming out in such numbers today."
"One thing that we've come to the conclusion of is that working people around the world have more in common with each other than they do with their elite, and the billionaire class."
The Together Alliance organized the largest anti-far right march in the UK, attracting tens of thousands of participants in London. Protesters carried placards with messages against racism and in support of refugees. Organizers claimed attendance of up to half a million, while police estimated around 50,000. The event was peaceful, with 25 arrests made. Speakers included Kevin Courtney and Diane Abbott, who emphasized unity against hatred. The march highlighted the commonalities among working people globally, as expressed by UB40 drummer Jimmy Brown.
