Mis-post?

[DoughtyOne]

Why the biggest protest in years 250,000 (-245,000).

[DoughtyOne]

Seems to follow the materials at the link Mark.

A million could show up and it would still be a dismal crowd.

[Innovative]

Good.

The few never-Trumpers can’t figure it out.

[Dilbert San Diego]

The Liberals are upset that someone punctured the Trump baby balloon. They call it an act of violence.

[Innovative]

“They said 75,000 protesters braved wet weather to assemble in Parliament Square at the heart of London.

Photographs of a lackluster turnout suggested even that number was an exaggeration and still far from the 250,000 organizers claimed attended a similar protest against Trump last year.”

When your opinion of the United States comes from the only US TV station broadcast in Europe,
CNN (Commie/Clinton News Network) distorts not only the President, but also the American culture,
what else can you expect from a jingo press (?),
and the European people who don't even know that they are being lied to ?

Thanks.

Here's a rundown on some of the groups organizing previous anti-Trump protests in Britain:

Stop Trump Coalition

Listed here are two speakers from the current protests, Trades Union Conference general secretary Frances O'Grady and Green Party MP Caroline Lucas:

The rally organizers' Facebook page (linked from the Guardian article in the second link above) lists additional featured groups and individuals:

Together Against Trump

Global Justice Now

National Union of Students

Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament

Stop the War Coalition

Palestine Solidarity Campaign UK

Momentum

Unite the Union (aka Unite)

UNISON

Stand Up To Trump

Campaign against Climate Change

TSSA - Transport Salaried Staffs' Association

Stand Up To Racism

The People's Assembly Against Austerity

Stop Trump

Owen Jones

Another Europe Is Possible

Labour Against Racism and Fascism

[Fedora]

Together Against Trump is the group sponsoring the Facebook page where those groups are listed.

[DoughtyOne]

That’s true, but did you hear about the large rally with tens of thousands of people in it, with the people at the mic over there claiming to be Deplorables from the United Kingdom?

Must have been over 100,000 people easily, and they were chanting. “we love Trump”.

Check this out. (terrible video quality, but at least you can see it / hear it)

A million could show up and it would still be a dismal crowd.

True. These are the most depressing people on the planet.

[piasa]

Funny how they have to have a faction for each pompous self appointed savior of the world...even though the agendas of each group are for all practical purposes the same.

[Fedora]

They could practically have one group for each attendee! Communists must have members whose full-time job is to come up with new names for front groups. One from the list that jumped out at me is the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), which was a Soviet front in the Cold War. Palestine Solidary Campaign dates from the 1982 Lebanon War. Global Justice Now emerged around 1970 from church groups promoting third-world aid. Stop the War Coalition was set up after 9/11 (well before Iraq, tellingly enough), and has worked with CND since at least 2003, along with the Muslim Association of Britain. Stand Up To Racism is a creature of Unite Against Fascism, founded in 2003 and accused of being a Socialist Workers Party front, and linked to the Muslim Council of Britain. Another Europe Is Possible is anti-Brexit. Labour Against Racism and Fascism is a new group launched by the Labour Party to oppose Tommy Robinson's popularity.

[Fedora]

I should add, Stop The War Coalition was initially chaired by a prominent Socialist Workers Party member, Lindsey German.

[Fedora]

Ping.

[Fedora]

Background on the Socialist Workers Party element in the above groups: Respect Party. I am sure you will remember George Galloway.

[Long Jon No Silver]

Conservatives are the new radicals.
