An incredible number turned up. Such an emotional atmosphere. So proud to be a part of the farming community. We will not back down!
How many were in London today.

I like that point!
Clarkson vs Oxfordshire Council
It’s a brave person who picks a fight with him after that.
And now…
Clarkson and Family Farmers vs Labour government

I was there today. I was amazed by the positive public reaction. The amount of people that said they supported us was staggering. Even a policeman shook my hand and said he supported our protest. We need to expand this to all SME`s for BPR and NIC.

That's great news and we need to keep it that way, it only gives us more leverage. The moment they turn away is the moment we lose and Keir can say "this is the will of the people".

In other words the real figure was 30,000

Police looked very friendly today. Also I bet the pubs don't do half as well out of other marches.

Official march was cancelled due to the large numbers… but just by chance

Unfortunately even when previous marches were 1-2million the politicians paid no attention so 20 or 30k peaceful farmers are going to have the effect of four fifths of not a lot on the commies in power now. Why do you think stop oil and other loons started stunts. My advice is blockade food distribution centres such as Tesco hubs. They have already paid for the food so doesn't affect farmers and rest assured empty shelves and upset big business will get their full attention. Box clever, learn from what was done before. Remember the boat on the trailer? The law is clear on on vehicles and their owners but not on trailers.
I suggest that an awful lot of trailers could suffer a puncture, have their tyre removed and left on an axle stand. Traffic carnage! Vintage tractor run round and round the distribution centres. No stopping just create slow carnage. Otherwise you are missing in the wind you will get nowhere being nice.

good idea you go ahead and organise one then let us know how YOU are going to promote it and let us all know if PLOD COME KNOKING ON YOU DOOR ,I am not being defeatist but a realist,I would love to do the same,but we need genuine advice how to protest so the person who does the organising is,not the one that gets prosecuted

Fantastic turnout!
I kept seeing posts on Facebook during the day that people were being turned away from the march as there was already too many people! Not sure who was turning them away or if this was true.

We walked through Parliament Square afterwards and guy walked up and said well done. Chatting with him he said he had grown up in the countryside but now lived in a city. Assuming he lived in London, I asked him where he lived, to which he said no, he lived in Darlington, but had travelled down for the rally, at which point I said it should be us thanking him for supporting us.Official march was cancelled due to the large numbers… but just by chancemost of us drifted towards parliament to see what the many billions spend on its refurbishment has given us… I gave a few strong hollers of GET LIEBOUR OUT towards a couple of groups I saw venturing out into the parliament courtyards, one group, dropped their smug faces and looked genuinely rattled by it, I do hope they were Liebour MPs

Reflecting back now, it was just a fantastic day and it was incredible to see such unity across the farming community. I was very, very proud to be there.
Thank you to those that organised it.
It makes me think that given a bit more time, a bit more pr and a bit more money thrown at it, a truly colossal march could be organised.

And the folks were still piling in for another 30mins I believe.

TBH, I am still a bit pee'd at this...Official march was cancelled due to the large numbers… but just by chance
I came away and genuinely feel that the Police had got the numbers totally screwed, in spite of 10K(I think) registered) beforehand. The failure to close the road early enough, going past the stage was indicative of a bit of a screw up there IMO too.

Thank goodness.....
Been good to see the Politicos limited to 3mins...... KB was not too bad, but ED waffled...
Bit like the Gobshites in the Cabinet then....
Not an an ounce of business experience in them.
