1. As compared with over 400,000 who attended the rally against cuts in March
Good to know that right-wing reactionary fanaticism still has its limits in this country.

I note that two of our more revolting ultra-Thatcherite MPs, old (Cash) and young (Patel) did attend.

2. Well it has attracted wildly disproportionate media coverage
Not to mention far too many lefties giving this rubbish more airtime then it really deserves on Twitter.

Mind you, the thought of Paul Staines as one of the principal speakers must be too much even for all the most fanatical right-wingers to stomach!

going on nearby at the same time which attracted twice as many people as these jokers.

Even Worthing Rebels get a better turnout.
