Youngsters enjoying the specatcle. The flag on the shirt is an England one. Symbolised our public apathy in the face of a war to which we are contributing, massively.

People protesting the invasion and destruction of Lebanon, others working Saturday,  marketing expensive real estate. Shop windows are excellent for conveying multiple stories in an image.

Waiting for the ‘Peace in Lebanon’ rally to start last Saturday, this individual probably symbolised the feeling of many a concerned citizen. Pissed off and powerless at the sanctimonious bullshit and sheer arrogance of the Bliar cabal. Many feel reduced to protest for their own sense of self-worth. Yet the events of today are built on organisation of the last 20 years or so. It’s a bit late to have much affect on today, but we can hope to stop disasters for ~20 years in the future.   It’s all about getting organised.

We may be rearranging the chairs on the Titanic of course if we don’t deal with climate change.
