On Saturday 16th May Yaxley Lennon held another ‘event’ in central London. At the centre of it were far right and fascist politics but elements of it, borrowed from US far right political culture, appeared quite idiosyncratic at best.
The Met Police claimed 60,000 attended ( a Palestinian and anti-racist march elsewhere in central London was far larger) but the Met has trouble telling the truth and has long been unable to count. More seasoned and rational demonstration watchers estimated 35,000, well down from Yaxley Lennon’s last central London effort.
One welcome feature was the presence of a Led By Donkeys truck on the route of the event displaying pro-immigration words and images. Agitprop at its effective best.
