Small Protestors Take To Streets In A Big Way<\/p><\/div>\n

On Friday I took to the streets as part of the Climate Strike protest.\u00a0 It was something I had to do.\u00a0 Something I owed to my children.\u00a0 Something I owed quite literally, as they had paid me 60 cents to attend.<\/p>\n

I told them if they wanted to prevent capitalism destroying the planet they had to learn to use its own weapons against it and pay me to attend.\u00a0 But — damn their mercantile little hearts — they knew my hand was weak as I actually do care about them a bit.\u00a0 I can’t imagine how they worked that out.\u00a0 This leaked information proved expensive as they managed to haggle me down to 20 cents each, despite my insistence I should be paid more since my mass is three times that of the average protester.<\/p>\n

Crowd Number = Lots<\/h2>\n

I didn’t attend with my children but with fellow crew mates of the good ship SolarQuotes.\u00a0 We arrived at Victoria Square a little before the 12:00 noon start and there was already a huge crowd with more people flowing in.\u00a0 It wasn’t long before I felt as though I was standing on Zanzibar<\/a>.\u00a0 One figure online says there were 8,000 people.\u00a0 I don’t find that at all difficult to believe.<\/p>\n

There were some handsome men.<\/p><\/div>\n

I Can’t Hear You!<\/h2>\n

The children were down the front.\u00a0 This was fair enough because it was their protest.\u00a0 But the sound system wasn’t very good and we old folk up the back couldn’t make out what was being said.\u00a0 They needed a better sound system.\u00a0 Not a louder one, as cranking up the volume for the hard of hearing elderly at the back is just going to deafen the children in front and perpetuate the cycle.\u00a0 But what the bad sound system taketh away, the good youtube provideth:<\/p>\n
