I remember British press desperately trying to lower the number of people who were in London.
It was 300 000, next it was 500K, then it was 750K. I tend to agree there was more than a million, more likely 2M, just as organisers always said. I remember that huge river of people going by hour after hour after hour, shoulder to shoulder. And the buses kept bringing more and more and more.
There was no free space anywhere around Hide park. It was almost impossible to get through the crowd.
I remember so many older people, lots of them in their 70s, so many people who brought kids with them and everyone was polite and patient and absolutely desperate to do something, anything to stop that madness.
I think we should have just stayed there, blocked the damn streets and waited until government just surrendered. I wish we did something else, more to stop it.
