A proper protest for a change

It was a real pleasure today to actually witness what I would class as a real protest just outside work. Really sorry if that offends some people but a lot of the Occupy stuff of late just lacks focus and a message and just seems like lazy protesting with people not able to even properly explain what they are protesting about and certainly unable to defend their view when questioned!

This was a genuine, organised, protest as part of the Stop Nuclear Power campaign against EDF. There was a clear and strongly shared message here!

You can read more about this on the Stop Nuclear Power UK website here: http://stopnuclearpoweruk.net/content/big-six-energy-bash

We had people dressed up as nuclear grim reapers, a mobile PA system, LOUD music and informative leaflets being handed out. It was just like the good old days with barricades of police blocking off the intended paths etc.

It really brought a tear to the old eye seeing something being done well for a change with a message that everyone shared and understood.
