There is plenty of oppertunity for humerous banner messages on marches but so few banners of any nature were seen in the square. 'Let's Have A Group Hug', 'We Have Some Concerns About Capitalism', 'Capitalism is Wrong', 'Money is Bad', 'Money is Rubbish', 'We are Terrorists', 'The Police are Scum' is the sort of thing I would have liked to have seen.

Ch4 described the demo as "lame" and said the majority didn't know why they were there, the banner was used to make us look stupid...like we can't think of a better alternative to Capitalism, other than, "something nice."

Bahh, people take things too seriously. Humour provides a contradiction to the thuggery portrayed in the media. Perhaps it should be part of a range of actions, but it has it's place.

Think more scathing, satirical, factual?
