Despite the desperate ongoing tragedy in Burma, this was by far the most colourful protest I've ever been on. Almost everyone present, even journos was wearing something red or maroon as requested. I was quite surprised to see that there are just so many Burmese living in Britain - it seemed to be about half of those marching.

I don't go to total anyway, Shell always seem to have the cheapest prices in my area, getting less cheap with all Brown's tax.
