[Leica] Tuesday demonstration in London while Starmer was still PM

[Douglas Barry]

Good shots of people I wouldn't be sympathetic to.
Ah yes, it's the "Unite the Kingdom" protest march led by convicted 
mortgage fraudster, assaulter and Stephen Yaxley-Lennon who goes under 
the nom de guerre of Tommy Robinson. He's been described as a "Free 
speech warrior" by some senior apparatchik in your State Dept and is a 
fascist fomentor.

You were brave going close to these guys with just an M10, Don, as 
violence simmers just beneath the surface. For shows like that, I'd have 
gone back in time and brought my Nikon F5. At 1.6kg, it easily out 
performs a .7kg M10 when swung in self defence...
