Description

I haven't a clue what they were protesting about? These people were gathering at Trafalgar Square. When we passed about 10pm there was such a racket, the water wasn't in the fountain & all the lights were off. Our hotel was very near the Square but it didn't bother us. They obvously had chosen the right spot. I do think they shouldn't have written "Awful Rebellion" (if it was them) on the National Gallery. Although they were very peaceful & by Sunday afternoon were, playing their guitars & singing. Not far from them was the countdown to the Olympics, OH WHOOP DE DO!!!! I have a sneaking suspicion that Zlata was with the protesters, she didn't come with us but I believe she wasn't at home with the girls either, curiouser & curiouser :o) Thanks for all the lovely Birthday greetings, so appreciated. xxx

Very nice collage Barbara, and I agree with you that no matter what your protesting there is never an excuse for the destruction of property or of endangering others.

Great set of images Barbara. There is no shortage of things going on to protest against these days. The group you have here are peaceful so that is wonderful, unfortunately way too often there are people that just want to cause destruction and have no interest at all in what the protest is about, get involved and then you see signs of stores looted, cars destroyed and so on. The riots in vancouver when the G8 was meeting was an example. While a lot of folks were there to protest had very legitimate complaints about world affairs, there was a core of trouble makers that incited the protest into a full blown riot with millions of dollars of damage and several people seriously injured.

Interesting pics! We in the NUT were very angry that a few anarchists stole the media coverage from the TUC protesters who were entirely peaceful and didn't even know what trouble there was elsewher.

Everywhere people are protesting, or rising up against the status quo. They are tired of being trampled upon, tired of being overtaxed, and tired of bearing the burden of messes the rich politicians are creating everywhere. A strange and uneasy time we live in.
