Ring around the clock - Making Poverty History

Simon, 10-04-2005 16:58

As the millenium clock in the centre of Swindon struck noon on Saturday, people dressed in white surrounded it to form a white ring, like one of those wristbands in aid of the Make Poverty History campaign. They were silent for a minute, with the exception of some percussion instrument which marked an avoidable death due to poverty every three seconds. At the end of the minute, a whistle blew and they all shouted "Make Poverty History". A long banner was unrolled around the outside of the group, reading "Poverty kills 30,000 people every day. 'Click' there's another one. 1.3 billion people live on less than 53p a day. MAKE POVERTY HISTORY". Read more >>

Placards spoke out against various unpopular planning decisions in and around the borough of Swindon, and many different signs were in evidence which made use of a subverted version of the orange Swindon Borough Council logo. The protestors marched through the Railway Village, past the Mechanics Institute, through the town centre to a rally outside the Civic Offices. Read more >>

Whipping doesn't hurt? Come and try it!

Simon, 03-04-2005 20:06

... said the signs today outside Ladbrokes, held by two young ladies who were wielding whips and dressed to offer a dominatrix experience to passers-by. Swindon must be a fairly straight-laced place though, because people weren't exactly queueing up to be whipped.

The pair were staging a publicity stunt to highlight the cruelty of horse racing, and to draw attention to Animal Aid's latest report on the horse racing industry. Read more >>
