I don't think the march mattered tbh. They rarely do and this one less than most. At least I find it hard to believe that any meaningful front is going to emerge from it, be it anti-racist, pro EU or politically alternative. Tim Farron and Bob Geldof make good symbols for it - feel good, immediate and easily forgotten.
That said I'm not sure why people are so arsey about it. Some in attendance are no doubt tossers who feel wiser or more profound about the issues than their 'inferiors'. Others are doing it earnestly and with good intent. Both groups existed yesterday and will tomorrow, means nothing if they do pointless things.
Best I'd hope for is that a few more people become aware of how little they matter and start looking for the real power and influence. As I say though, doubt the issue will grip most for long enough.
Why waste anger on it? Plenty who deserve it more.
