I don't think that's what the organisers said at all. Most of what I've seen says "the biggest ant-war demo in years" or somesuch. Not the biggest in Scotland EVER. Admittedly, we're all too young to remember "Red Clydeside" and socialists like John MacLean, but even disregarding an age when demonstrations were really huge events, I'm pretty sure there were bigger demos during the Cold War and maybe even before the last Gulf War. As for "facts", did you count the demonstrators yourself? If not, then how can you back up your claim?
Well, the organisers themselves said this, so I took their word for it. Most of these activists put quite a lot of research in their speeches and give a lot of information that is not generally up for grabs in the mass media. Have you got other information that proves it's wrong or do you just enjoy telling people how to behave?
