Subject: RE: BS: any catters in Manchester Friday night
Several thousand soggy protesters carrying banners and waving flags gathered in a muddy park and then marched through the streets for about four miles, escorted by the police. All very well behaved, I was going to say peaceful, but what with the whistles and the chanting, peaceful isn't quite the word. Hopefully , in this election year it will help raise awareness of the issue of low pay and maybe just maybe do some good. But boy did my shoulders ache after carrying that banner after a couple of miles it gets very heavy. And I must say that I can think of better things to do than listen to some guy singing umpteen verses of barnacle Bill the sailor up the M1
