The London newspaper The Evening Standard has been running an online poll: so far 73% who have participated have voted in favour of the demonstrations

The Evening Standard - the right-wing local paper for the entire London region - has been running an online poll to gauge the public's reaction to the forthcoming actions planned for May Day in the capital.

So far, despite the poll being illustrated by a picture of a man booting in the window of a mobile phone shop - a staggering 73% of all those who expressed their opinions have voted 'yes' when asked if they support the May day protests.

Mmmmmmm? What will their editorial panel think about that?

Our Choice to Make

01.05.2001 07:57

There are many of us who are determined to live a life of peace. We're not supposed to recognize each other. We're not supposed to hear about each other. We're not supposed to think for ourselves. It's simply not in the best interests of the dominators. But we are here. There are infant minds of all types in every direction desiring a peaceful existence in order to explore our minds, our lives and the universe we find ourselves in.

For the first time in human history, our technology allows us to witness the condition of life on Earth. We can choose to proceed along a destructive path, or we can reach out to each other and exist in peace. There's no reason why we should be anything other than a community of friends. It is our choice to make.
