The only newsworthy aspect of the far-right anti-migrant protests currently is how pathetically small they are.
Last summer 60,000 people came to the Restore Nature Now protest in London, and the BBC didn’t even report on it.

Just watched Chappell Roan’s performance at Reading on iPlayer. Even more excited about being the oldest man in her crowd at Edinburgh next week!
