Great pictures! Wish I could have been there. I just signed the Make Poverty History petition sent to Tony Blair - for those like me who couldn't rally, please check out the sites and sign the petitions! Have a great week ahead - keep up the good work!

perfect day spoiled by a pixie

With 225,000 folk of all races and creeds marching to create positive energy and focus to the vital issues for the world, it was sad and disappointing to have hand written obscenities like "fuck the G8" thrust in my hand by a 7 yr old child( a "pixie" of Pete's apparently )while her parents laughed hysterically----
In Africa kids are literally dying for a decent education ----this is just an insult to them.
