rhythms of resistance provided the beats on an anti-GM protest in Central London this morning. starting from bedford square, around a thousand protestors joined tractors, other farm machinery, and supermarket trolleys in a march from bedford square to smith square, stopping at the national farmer's union, at downing street to hand in a petition against GM, and finally to the department of environment, farming, and rural affairs (defra).

the sun came out in smith square and a colourful throng danced to the samba beats and reclaimed the streets outside defra for a while.

the pics show the march down downing street, and two pictures of the samba band in smith square.›
