Spare a thought – only kidding – for the organisers of a pro-Trump rally held in Washington DC to protest on behalf of the people being prosecuted for taking part in the shocking Capitol riot on 6 January.

The ‘Justice for J6’ rally was so poorly attended that protestors were comprehensively outnumbered by police officers and journalists who turned up to cover it.

Yesterday’s so-called “Justice For January 6th” Rally was a complete flop. I’ve seen bigger crowds at meetings of the Star Wars Holiday Special Fan Club. pic.twitter.com/uv0BSVE5sn
