A good 40,000 (about 13.5% of the Tinhamptonian population at the time, although the police can't be arsed to tell people how many exactly) took to the streets to protest a proposed tax hike from about 4.5% to the maximum allowed 7.5% rate of income tax, and in addition to a 25% increase on business rates, in the incoming left-wing government's budget in September 2007. The Social Democrats eventually retreated, after five days of debate and approximately three-and-a-half days of people getting angry and smashing shit up, to reduce the tax rates to 5.5% and 15%.
This is closely followed by about 30,000, shared between three different protests, although mostly peaceful rallies: against the same government's Aid-for-Trade scandal in March 2015, a collection of rallies for Petroshenko's Social Democratic government and against the Farmers' Rebellion of 1987, and Austerity Kills: Smith & Anderson, Step Down NOW! in May 2006.
Honourable mentions: Occupy Tinhampton, October 2011-date, "tens of thousands served." Keeping Tinhampton Safe for Our Children vs Tinhampton Against Fascism, July 2016, about 45,000 combined. Action Against Austerity! vs #ImWithPaul vs Secure Tinhampton Now vs End Mass Genocide In Gladom Newion, September 2018, about 25,000 combined (the riots that occurred later that day implicated about half this number of protestors). The General Strike of 1934, about 30,000; the General Strike of 1983, about 80,000-90,000 (both about a third of all Tinhamptonians in employment at the time).
