Disproportionate weight to protestors

[edit]

Disproportionate weight is given to the to protestors. The (supportive) crowd is numbered at 300k; the protestors are not numbered but were relatively few. Would there be objection to de-weighting the protests? JDAWiseman (talk) 23:32, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Royal family exclusion

[edit]

The fact that the royal family was not part of the parade has received coverage, and I believe this "snub" was covered in The Crown, if I'm not mistaken. If it is notable, it should be included in the article. Park3r (talk) 02:32, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this. I've read books which also mention this, though it's so many years I can't remember their titles. I suspect, but am not sure, Wheatcroft's 'Whatever Happened to the Tory Party' is one of them, though I may be quite wrong. The Queen should have taken that parade, and didn't, and wasn't even there, and Thatcher was criticised for it. I know it's true but the sources... not sure. Anyone take this up?
