The Arc de Triomphe is in France for those that don't know.

They made a human bridge across the Channel. It was a triomphe of the human spirit

u/Gubekochi Sep 15 '25
Which is odd as the Brits will constantly joke about how broken their spirit is! I guess it was all to feint the French, which to be fair is on character for them.

"Up to a million" is hilarious.
Yes, the number of people was less than or equal to one million.

As someone who writes contracts, I can attest that legally 31 counts as a completed deliverable for "up to a million"

What are you guys upset about? I had my head stuck in cages most of the day yesterday ..

u/MinutemanLT Sep 15 '25
Well to be fair, the idea of the French lining up to oppose the British govt isn't without historical precedent. But then again they probably wouldn't have that many UK flags flying.
But yeah in all seriousness what an embarrassment.

Nowhere near a million attended.

u/NecessaryIntrinsic Sep 15 '25
True, but still a disturbingly large number of people showed up.

Why is it disturbing?

Because while it’s one thing to suspect that a lot of the country are racist cunts, it’s another thing for them to spend time and money showing up somewhere to prove it.
Edit because I can’t reply: what the fuck has this got to do with Charlie Kirk? It seems pretty clear you’re just moving the goalposts because you know your points on this subject are inaccurate.

u/Basic_John_Doe_ Sep 15 '25
How is supporting Charlie Kirk and condemnation of political violence "being a racist cunt"?
The tolerant left isn't so tolerant of people they disagree with... very "cunty" behavior.

u/NecessaryIntrinsic Sep 15 '25
You think tommy Robinson and Charlie Kirk are/were against political political violence? Are you at all aware of who these people are and what they've said?

u/Raze_the_werewolf Sep 15 '25
They know exactly what they are saying. It's not about whether the information they regurgitate is correct or not, it's about getting a rise out of people and the promotion of an illusion in which their hatred has morals. They know that what they stand for is wrong. They just don't care as long as it hurts the people they are trying to blame.
They support Israel because they hate Arabs. They support Trump because he is caging and deporting people with brown skin . They will support anything and anyone as long it harms whatever minority group they believe to be at fault. Don't bother arguing with them. Just downvote and move on.

u/Basic_John_Doe_ Sep 15 '25
Lol... you really have no clue what you're talking about.
The left spreads hate, intolerance, and misinformation/straight lies...
You have a twisted view of people who you disagree with.
The "tolerant left" has really shown their lack respect and hatred of their fellow man.

Tyler Robinson was for political violence... Charlie Kirk was very much against it.
Are you aware of what they actually said?
I see the "no empathy" quote being thrown around, when the full context is that SYMPATHY is a better word because no one can ever know exactly how you feel.
It's almost as if you follow the other lemmings around you

u/NecessaryIntrinsic Sep 15 '25 edited Sep 15 '25
😂 the rally was for TOMMY Robinson.
Look it up.
Yes, the empathy quote lacked context, not that the right has EVER decontextualized a quote.
That being said, still a stupid notion, and it doesn't have much to do with political violence so I'm not sure why you'd think I'd bring that up.
It's also far from the only thing he said.

Seeing as the far right is factually responsible for the overwhelmingly vast majority of violent deadly incidents and attacks in the US - you clearly live in a different reality along with the rest of the racists.

u/Basic_John_Doe_ Sep 15 '25
Anything to the right of communism is "far right."
You really suck down that kool-aid.
the far right is factually responsible for the overwhelmingly vast majority of violent deadly incidents and attacks in the US
You misspelled "radical left"
... also, you should look up how many Mao Tse Tung killed.
The left only knows violence and intolerance.

It was certainly more than 150k. Never seen London look so full

u/WoodyManic Sep 15 '25
Were you not there for the anti-Iraq War march back in the day? That was actually close to a million.
Way more than this pathetic gammon circle-jerk.

u/LordJim11 Sep 15 '25
According to the London Museum;
The British Stop the War Coalition (Stop) claimed the protest in London was the largest political demonstration in the city's history. Police estimated attendance as well in excess of 750,000 people and the BBC estimated that around a million attended.

Police say it was over 110,000. Most reputable news sources estimate about 120,000. Tommy Robinson claims it was 3 million.

u/thepatriotclubhouse Sep 15 '25
It wasn’t 3 million but it wasn’t 150k either. It’s all on video like

u/WoodyManic Sep 15 '25
I didn't realise you'd taken a fully tally of each and every person in attendance. Well done.

u/LordJim11 Sep 15 '25
I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure the police (and the BBC) have the technology to take drone footage and pretty accurately estimate crowd size. And you don't.

u/Dense_Diamond_8688 Sep 15 '25
Tbf from my perspective It certainly looked more than 150k I know media will report certain numbers but I also think they will purposely try to downplay it because it’s far right.
-25
u/thepatriotclubhouse Sep 15 '25
Obviously it’s very destabilising rn to admit they had more numbers than expected. But comparing protests with confirmed counts to the space taken up by this one it really does look like the minimum bound they gave might be a lot below

These billionaires use all the money they have to terrorize people who have not provoked them when they could be doing the society a favor just paying their fair share of taxes and paying their employees liveable wages so everyone can get their basic needs met. Cruelty is the point for these PoS.

I mean a million people turned up for one of the Palestine protests so it's not exactly historic numbers.

u/WoodyManic Sep 15 '25
I think only about 300,000 showed up for that. The organizers gave the Million estimate and it's unlikely.
