I was in Bristol today on a picket line and then off to the demo in the centre. There was around 12,000 people, good lively and a dynamic atmosphere. First demo I have been on in ages where I wasn’t kettled! One thing that made me laugh was while I was standing around taking photos I felt a tug at my back, turned around I saw this young boy scoffing a biscuit wanting his photo taken his mum laughed nervously and apologised. I didn’t mind, it was kinda sweet, and he looked very happy when he knew I had taken his picture (a future activist, methinks). If you can quite read his placard it says, “I want the teachers to have lots of money”…
I only heard a part of the rally that included John McInally (PCS vice president) saying that, “Ed Miliband is a disgrace” to much applause from the audience. Actually, as anyone seem Mister Ed lately……?
Pretty impressive damp squib, eh?!
