'Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number,
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you -
Ye are many - they are few.

From what I know, a few of my friends made it into Millbank. At least one was arrested but I haven't heard anything since. Please sign this petition to support them (obviously, only if you agree). The others I have heard from, most home already had a good day of peaceful protest, against being kettled by the police & barricaded in at Parliament Square. They have proven that the only language mass media understand is violence & destruction, it is headline news, it is around the world, it isn't just 52,000 slightly angry people. It's 52,000 very angry people. Let's remember that whatever we think about those who broke into Millbank (& breaking in seems like a strong word see here) that we should be united against the government not each other.
Edit: 0.0615384615% got arrested. Interesting maths considering the coverage.
Nick Clegg, we know you
You're a fucking Tory too!

ReplyDeletecan I sign the petition even when I'm from Switzerland?
Hell yes, anyone can sign I think, you just have to email them. THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteQuite a few of my friends went down, one was cornered by police on a roof.. ridiculous!

oh i'll definitely be signing the petition right away! i think this is probably just the start & there'll be many more protests once all the cuts start coming in & the reality of the situation starts kicking in. i love that you always discuss these things on your blog jess, always a great read :)
ReplyDeletethanks for your travel suggestions! i've already been to paris twice & G has been to barcelona about ten times (although i still want to go) so we're thinking of somewhere new to both of us. there are flights to helsinki from manchester, so i think we might be going there come summer!
