My tiktok kept trying to show me Tommy Robinson dickheads.

I was on a photo walk and went by Trafalgar Square coincidentally. Lot of cunts there, had overspilled the square itself. Some very bad music.

Usual shit really, trump flags, Qanon references even. I was impressed though that the whinge about "we have a whole month for pride but only one day for our brave veterans" referred to "LGBTQI" - usually they just stop at LGBT sometimes with the Q. Getting more socially conscious clearly.

What The Trans are live reporting on Trans Pride on twitter.

Seems pretty positive so far with a decent turnout. Hard to tell from twitter but maybe less people than the Yaxley-Lennon hate-fest.

Trans pride march is usually decent IME and has got larger every year

Yeah I retract that comment about the relative sizes. I've not seen an overhead shot of the transpride march so it's impossible to say really and it does look pretty big from what I have seen.

There were a boatload of people at Trafalgar Square tbh, many tens of thousands. The weather helps.

I enjoyed trans pride. Sloped for food.

Convo with someone else on the walk as we approached Trafalgar Square

Me: "I'm not sure, I think there's some sort of far right thing going on"
(We hear music)
Me: "ok so whoever it is doesn't have any good musicians supporting them"
Other person: "that's going to be the far right then"
