live from the demo

2pm update - i think the march is about to begin - albert square is packed.
wife has joined me at the pub, having successfully bought shoes.
good to see a couple of hamas flags in the crowd to mix things up.
have just spotted a '9/11 is a frame-up' banner. fume.

so, here i am at the demo - a real pick'n'mix affair. choose a placard from a wide range of options. i prefer to sit outside the slug and lettuce and watch the proceedings.
cynicism aside for a minute, people are in good spirits, the sun is shining, and the whistle-sellers are doing a roaring trade.

 Better than shoe shopping with the wife, though. Good weather for it too.

 That is, if your other half is a wife.

 O/H is indeed a wife. And I was a fool in thinking that a single pair of shoes constituted a shopping trip. Purchased shoes had doubled by the end of the march.
