The march which had a very serious message was still very much a fun day, with families, community groups, music and plenty of aughter.And as one of the half million or so at yesterday's march, I do get kissed off when the message of the march is dminished in part because of the stupidity of a few hundred tw*ts from the lunatic fringe.
I am not sure who is worse, the loons for their juvenile 'attacks on capitalism', or the news editors of both the press and tv, for giving them the newspace or airtime that they crave?
As to the Old Bill, same old, same old I'm afraid. There appeared to be plenty of them every few yards along the route of the march, where they were not required and the job was easy, as the march was being well stewarded by TUC Stewards. Yet where the policing job was required they continued to be bystanders..easy life on overtime rates.
