May Day Carnival – Pix-&-Vidz – Sat 01 May 10

Dateline: May Day Parade & Carnival, Parliament Square, London, UK, 14:00-17:00, Sat 01 May 10 – G20 Meltdown mobilised thousands to the Bank of England on 01 April 2009, and Election Meltdown repeated the feat on International Workers Day 2010, with four convergent May Day Parades converging outside the House of Conmens in Parliament Square for Carnival festivities. Four bosses' lackey politicians were executed in effigy, Thursday's forthcoming election was declared null-&-void, and we took the roadway for a dance-floor and held it, till heavy rain stopped play around 17:00.

LIGHT DUTIES, WHILE I STILL CAN
I have bipolar disorder, and the beginnings of an episode of depression are upon me again [1]. So I'll be only processing a handful of the pix I shoot on street actions, then uploading all the source pix-&-vidz to a file-sharing facility for other interested parties to access and use at will (links to follow).

How utterly utterly clever

02.05.2010 02:10

to deface Churchill's statue yet again, the famous previous incident of this was key to the police adopting kettles and bubbles as standard for hippy demos, now after the post-G20 relaxation the advocates of kettling will say they are vindicated and use this to justify more of it. Brilliant.

I don't think there will be any media interest

I don't think there will be any main stream media interest in this as the Torygraphs are more interested in getting David Cam' in than direct any interest to the protest. Like before it will come off.

John

It is clever.

After all its only paint and Churchill was a warmonger anyway. It goes to show how repressive this country can be just over a bit of paint on a crummy old statue which glorifies war.

well-done

Tim, your account of dealing with depression is highly thought-provoking and informative - well done to you. When you are feeling able to consider it, it would be great to put this on a website. Also, have you considered linking with the Activist Trauma Project for them to document this stuff?
