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 at the Tommy tit march.
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.
I wonder what such a pathetic man exaggerates to such a huge degree
How are people really dumb enough to think the population of Birmingham and then some turned up?
Tommy Three-Names lying about something? Well I never!
But if they say it’s millions dumb people will feel left out and support them because he and the billionaires most people are sheep. They just follow what others do to be on a winning side
6% of the adults in the UK did not go to London at the weekend. Absolute idiots.
Convicted fraudster lies about numbers, water still wet.
He provokes you on purpose so you’ll publish how many people showed up. You take the bait like the most naive fish. That’s why Farage and Trump dominate the news, they make money for you through clickbait. The media put Trump in the White House. The media will put Farage in Number 10. Because clowns sell headlines.
“Actual numbers”. And you know that because you counted each and every person there, right ? 🤣
As believable as Robinson’s opinion.
I’m really annoyed at how much air time this shite the right protest is getting. If he was so popular why did he have to lie on social media advertising that it was three different things? Why did people who go there say they didn’t know Tommy Robinson was involved, nor Katie Hopkins nor Elon fucking Musk?
The reason it was called Unite the Kingdom is because it was similar to the Unite the Right rally in the US a few years back , but they couldn’t call it unite the right because the connection between the two events here and in the US would spur the narrative once the press made the connection and once people did some research and saw what the unite the right rally in the US resulted in.
Tommy Robinson is nothing more than a islamaphobic grifter, and that was evident on Saturday by the calibre of people who kicked off there and tried to encircle peaceful counter protestors who were leaving at 4pm in their designated time slot.
I’ll also say that a lot of football hooligans who were banned from the two football matches taking place on Saturday within London used this as an excuse to get amongst it because they couldn’t physically watch their teams play because they’re heathens. The rugby match also drew in drunken NZ tourists who were also just there because of the match, include that with the 550k tourists per day London sees on average and the fact they probably got caught up in the unite the grifters march while just trying to navigate London tourist hot spot routes like Trafalgar Square…
He’s not as popular as people think, and that was evident by the audible sound of booing when he brought out his mate Mr House— I mean Elon Musk on the big screen.
But why do facts and logical analysis matter? Tommy Robinson said 3 million and who needs the truth of it when you can lie about it with impunity and only further marginalise anyone that’s not white British. Elon Musk needs to get the fuck out of our politics too, he’s already fucked the US up by getting orange man elected and completely dismantling the entire US government for his own personal profit and to cancel any ongoing investigations into him by the federal government
If he wants to be a free speech warrior and battle the left why didn’t he turn up in person the little fucking fannnyy!!
Tommy was also overhead telling people his IQ is 2000.
The three million is obviously nonsense but I’m not sure we should be taking the Met’s number as gospel truth either, that force has a record of lying about that kind of thing too.
A multiple times convicted criminal, whose crimes include mortgage fraud … can’t do maths?
Aren’t we all just shocked.
He’s learned from current US politics that you just lie. That’s it.
Just say yours is the biggest and best ever, and you’re great, and the other side are weak and pathetic, but also dangerous and they suck.
3m turned up? How about 4m. 5m. Next week it will be the entire country.
Lying is much easier than reality.
Only 3 million?
Why not say 50 million?
Might as well for how stupid that claim is.
my mate was there and he said it was 300 million people /s
Police on the day stated 110k people so Yaxley-Lennon hasn’t got his facts right as usual
