Hundreds of Thousands Protest

With more or less serious messages texted. :)
This is a global phenomena,I think, it is time to end the post cold war politics and kick off a new politics for a new global world.
Having a solid experience in Belgrade protests against Milosevic in the 1990s, I can say that crowd estimates made by police were the most exact. Although their estimates seemed too conservative :-). Nice image!
We did not get "the humorous messages" on Norwegian TV, nor in the newspapers :)
Thanks for sharing!
Shame about the anarchists:-/
Happening everywhere!
Power to the people!
I like the sign.
Gosh you were in the middle of all that. I love your photo. It did seem there were some anarchists in the crowd who were using violence for no good reason.
There needs to be one be massive global protest. Love the signs!
Not only in the UK happens also in Argentina is common the protest.
don't give up !!! go on strike ! believe me : I'm French ! :)
I would have gone if I could. My daughter was there - she texted me later "Safely home Ma, and we didn't get 'kettled'" !
Quite a few members of the union I'm in (PCS) were there. Shame about the troublemakers giving protests a bad name
Always, there are a handful of troublemakers stirring up violence! I hope the government aren't deflected from noticing just how many genuine protesters are unhappy with their super-fast cuts!
All we saw on our news was the anarchists who seem to be always on the alert for this type of occasion!
A great protest to be on, it was more like being on a carnival. After 6 hours I couldn't take any more and for the record because I work for myself I'm not in the Union, but I'm backing them!
At least the Anarchists in London were more peaceful than those protesters in Libya and I personally feel that our Politicians are just as corrupt as Gaddafi, but granted they not as brutal!
time to wake up to build a new world !! :)
