It was the usual numbers game, organisers hyping the figure to 200,000 while the police play the figure down to 20,000. The media then talk about the different claims instead of the issues... just like me!
With unseasonal summer like weather in London it was a joy to bumb into friends and hang out in trafalgar square. I watch the march come in an it took a good twenty minutes to pass me. Then the speeches started and around 40 minutes later - the march arrived... again! Somehow the march had ended up split almost equally in two and the final half rolled up with the samba band near its head. Police blocked the top of downing street and forced the march into a bottle neck into the square so it took long for this block to pass in the square than the first. A group of young muslims burned an america flag and the cops intervened, stealing the smoldering flag and stamping it out. It was the only sign of conflict of any kind that I saw. Speeches, musics, people selling papers, some people cooling of in the fountains. Nice family day out.
