There’s a rumour of a protest about train fares near King’s Cross. It’s just three people with a ukulele and a loudspeaker, singing “Mind the Gap… Between Our Pay and Our Rent.”
Anti-racism protesters gather in London to show 'unity'
Tourists are taking selfies with them. The ukulele player is not amused. “This is serious!” he yells, then accidentally strums a G chord that sounds suspiciously like “We Are the Champions.”
Honestly, the biggest protest today might just be the lack of a protest that people expected. London is chaotic like that.
The “Just Here for the Snacks” Crew
Let’s talk about the real demographic: the people who show up because their mate said there would be free vegan sausage rolls. They stand at the back, holding an upside-down sign, looking confused.
They’re not passionate about the cause; they’re passionate about the hummus. And you know what? That’s valid. Every movement needs a snack table.
One of them is live-streaming on TikTok with the caption “IDK what this is about but the sign looks cool.” That, my friends, is the spirit of protest in 2026.
