Bristol - chilled out mayhem!

Bristol was the scene of a chilled out carnival against capitol with some bonus added mischief. A bit of chanting, drumming and the usual police surveillance. A group of 50 or so protesters met in the centre of the town and proceeded to take a short tour of the town stopping traffic and having a dance in front of the police station and Reed Employment Agency. Employment agencies are capitalism's new way of controlling the workers by giving less pay, no holidays, no sick leave and no security. Flexibility they argue – but who's benefiting from the flexibility? Not those doing the work – it's no wonder the gap between rich and poor is growing and that the top 100 global companies, despite increasing their wealth by over 800% over the last 10 years, directly employ 52% less people.
