The Biggest Political Demo in British History

Protester in Whitehall

The police stopped counting at 750,000. The conservative estimate is that there were a million on the demonstration. The demo organisers, the Stop the War coalition, claimed 2 million. It was huge!

There was a large contingent from Brighton & Hove. More than 28 coaches went up from the city, and many, many hundreds more went up by train - including myself. The atmosphere on the crowded train was very good spirited.
