Around 350,000 people marched on solidarity with Palestine and Gaza and against war with Iran in central London on Saturday. As ever the march was peaceful and also as usual the BBC, Guardian etc couldn’t be bothered to report it despite their news coverage being dominated by these issues. Unfortunately the wrong sort of views were on display…
It was also the occasion when anti-war and anti-imperialist protest met climate change. It was the hottest day of the year with temperatures of around 33C in central London. Of course such temperatures are not unknown. The point is that thanks to climate change they are happening more and more often whatever Farage & his fuel industry backers may say.
There is also of course a historical point. The 21st June demonstration was the hottest ever in the UK, but only to date unless climate change is fully addressed.
