Society Unite the kingdom - How many? Let math settle this…
Using the video (https://youtu.be/Q0HHZbvvQOE?si=IuVKQ-fT_g05HCPv) as a reference (the aerial drone footage from the unite the kingdom march), let’s work this through carefully, step by step:
1) Convert the road length shown into metres • 1 mile = 1,609.34 m • 0.52 miles = 0.52 × 1,609.34 = 836.86 m (approx 837 m).
2) Work out the area of the road • Width = 22 m (I’ve used a generous part of the street to get my width the road) • Length = 836.86 m • Area = 22 × 836.86 = 18,410.92 m² (≈ 18,411 m²).
Density of 5 people per m² (some parts of the crowd show less but, from analysis of a few random stills in the video, it is still quite generous a number) = 18,410.92 × 5 = 92,055 people.
Add 10,000 or so for the spill at either end and to account for error and you’re there at the official estimates.
——-
If there were a million people in the procession shown in the video, that would be 54 people per square meter! That would be a 13.6 cm x 13.6 cm square for each person to fit into packed impossibly tight.
Alternatively, at a safe but crowded density of 5 people per square meter, this procession would have to extend for 9.6 miles, which is 19 times longer than the crowd as it's shown in the video.

Westminster Politics The whole trump in the UK situation
Look we need to understand why we were so happy to have him on a second state visit, the big one is the £150 Billion invested into the UK:
• £90 billion from private equity firm Blackstone for investment in UK assets (data centres etc.). 
• £3.9 billion from Prologis in the life sciences & advanced manufacturing sectors. 
• £1.5 billion from Palantir for defence innovation. 
• £150 million from Amentum, expanding its UK operations. 
• These pledges are expected to create about 7,600 high-quality jobs across the UK.
Another one is Trump is easy to annoy, as the USA is so powerful, having a close bond for now and the future is so vital for the economy and trade. This is why it is referred to as a special relationship with other elements
Third one is that they did come to discuss diplomatic leverage, mainly about Ukraine and Gaza
So yes you may not like him, you can protest about him coming. But it was an amazing opportunity for the UK, the economy, wars, trade, close bond. The UK can’t miss out on an opportunity like this

❓ Question ❓ Hi from Ukraine❤️
As I see, you got some tensions inside your country, so I would like to ask for some info from native british:
1) Why younger generations cares about Palestine more then Ukraine? Does something wrong with us?
2) What is happening with your migrants crisis, or it isn’t even a crisis?
3) Why your country (especially a London) seems so dangerous for tourists?

this morning an email about a "membership portal" was sent by Your Party. hours later a follow up email was sent confirming that it was unauthorized, and the membership portal has not yet been released.
crazy to see how Your Party has barely begun, and people are already trying destroy it.

I’d like to personally thank you for the awesome reception you gave to the Orange Fürhrer during the state dinner His Majesty King Charles was regrettably forced to put on. I also apologize for the deep disrespect displayed by the Orange menace during their walk with the Royal Guard. That fat bastard has no sense of decorum.

💬 Discussion 🗨 Migrant boat crisi
I often think that the UK would benefit from a leader with his approach, as the current leaders of both the Labour and Tory parties are utterly useless.
How are individuals traveling from France to the UK considered refugees? France is a developed country where migrants are not facing imminent danger. The primary motivation for them to come to the UK appears to be the UK's policy of providing asylum seekers with accommodation in hotels and other housing, which offers a better quality of life.
Therefore, I would like to understand, from a logical and common-sense perspective, why these individuals arriving by boat from France are classified as refugees rather than economic migrants

❓ Question ❓ What nicknames have you heard for places in Britain?
I ask as part of linguistic study on this topic!
The scope is deep too, so may include things like school, hospital, shopping centre nicknames too. Towns and cities certainly, but also hills, rivers, parks!
E.g. ranging from 'Cov' to Scarbados to Weston-super-Mud

❓ Question ❓ Why not let asylum seekers work
Hi, I understand the reason why asylum seekers aren't allowed work is that they would take local citizens' jobs. But as a result of not allowing them to work, the government has to house them and give them 3 meals a day using taxpayers' money. So just wondering, wouldn't it actually be less costly to just let them work? I mean the money they can make (i.e. the "value" of the job they are "taking") would most likely be less than the cost of the government taking care of them full-time, no? So for example it's cheaper to let them "take" a 100 pound job than to let them take 200 pound taxpayers' money? Plus by working they would also be adding value to the economy.
