The attendance at the Unite the Kingdom rally in London is estimated to be between 110,000 and 150,000 people [1]. This estimate is confirmed by multiple sources, including [2], which also reports an attendance of between 110,000 and 150,000 people [2]. Additionally, sources [3], [2], and [4] provide similar estimates, with [3] reporting that the rally drew more than 110,000 people, with some estimates as high as 150,000 [3].

Similarly, source [4] estimates the attendance to be between 110,000 to 150,000 and reports on the violence and arrests [4].
2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints
While the analyses provide a consistent estimate of the attendance at the Unite the Kingdom rally, there is limited information on the context and purpose of the rally. Source [1] mentions that the rally was organized by a far-right activist and resulted in clashes between protesters and police [1]. Source [3] also reports that the rally was organized by a far-right activist and resulted in clashes, injuring 26 officers [3]. However, there is no detailed analysis of the rally's goals or the views of the attendees. Furthermore, alternative viewpoints from opposing groups or organizations are not presented in the analyses, which could provide a more comprehensive understanding of the event. For example, source [4] mentions that the Business Secretary condemned the attacks on police, but the perspectives of other government officials or community leaders are not included [4].
3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement
The original statement asks for the attendance at the Unite the Kingdom rally in London, without providing any context or background information. This lack of context could potentially lead to misinterpretation or oversimplification of the event. Additionally, the sources cited may have their own biases or agendas, which could influence the presentation of the information. For example, source [1] is from a news organization that may have a liberal or progressive perspective, while source [2] is from a news organization that may have a more neutral or international perspective [1] [2]. The far-right activist who organized the rally may also benefit from the attention and publicity generated by the event, which could be seen as promoting their ideology or agenda [1] [3]. Overall, it is essential to consider multiple sources and perspectives when evaluating the information and to be aware of potential biases or misinformation [1] [2] [3] [4].
