Why did the media and police lie so readily on 14:28 - Sep 17 by redrickstuhaart
They said 110. Express 80. Other sources less.
When will people start thinking critically and fact checking for themselves?
I said of the ones I have seen. A lot of have said 200k, 500k and rather fantastically 3m. Apologies for not reading every news source in the universe before posting.
No way was it anywhere near 500,000 it’s ridiculous to even suggest it, London would come to a standstill and it didn’t. If you have ever left a concert a Wembley with 80,000 to 90,000 people then would know it’s closer to that figure from the photos on the day.

I can see why the governement might lie about the figures. I can see why the organisers of the event might lie about the figures. I can't for the life of me see what the motivation would be for the police to lie about the figures.
It's the deep state isn't it Out to get all these innocent racists and authoritarians Bill Gates microchips and all that

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

I don’t have any evidence as to why, I’m just saying they’ve chosen the lowest (110k) of the ranges I’ve seen.
Your comment "The police and left media will go with the lowest estimate" suggests that you thought they had good cause to downplay it. I can't think of any reason they would have and of at least two why the opposite is true.
Indeed, the OP actually asks the question why did the media and police lie so readily when, in fact, there is no evidence that their figures are anything but the most reliable estimates.

This looks like a pretty large amount of people to me.
Yes, from that aerial footage there certainly was a large crowd. Could easily be 100,000 plus. Certainly more than would fit in many football stadia. I wonder if you have similar footage of a known crowd size like that leaving Wembley all at once after a capacity event.
All of this would fit with the estimated attendance at Unite the Kingdom of around 100,000-120,000 from the similar footage. This is still a concerningly large turnout for an event with the speakers and organisers that it had.
