I was going to say, A Tale of 2 Newspapers. But actually, it’s more like, A Tale of 2 Realities. In one of which the biggest march in British history (?) never happened

‘You can fake news & you can fake photographs..but you cannot fake an almighty crowd.’ Powerful @ObserverUK piece from @TimAdamsWrites that captures why yesterday so important. In an age of astroturfed online outrage, this sea of humanity spoke for itself

...we’ll only know what this march really meant in years to come. This is very much worth your time. Euan Ferguson on the Iraq march for @ObserverUK. ‘Will yesterday, astonishing yesterday, change anything? The facts are undeniable. Perception is all.’

I was going to suggest @ShippersUnbound that we revisit this subject in 16 years' time & check what we remember then. One of biggest marches in British history. Or tittle tattle of the usual suspects. But looks like I could have said "lunchtime"
