Anti-racism protest deserved coverage, too

I’m glad that you reported on the Extinction Rebellion protest in London on Saturday, blocking several Thames crossings, attended by up to 6,000 people (Warning from artist among 82 arrested at climate blockade, 19 November). But I’m sorry Monday’s paper didn’t cover the anti-racism, anti-fascist protest in London on the same day, marching from Portland Place to Whitehall, attended by up to 30,000 people from a wide range of political, civic and charitable organisations and trade unions. Both were significant democratic events and both, surely, should have been brought to public attention.
