I was up all night on Saturday at a party in Leeds. At 5 to 7 in the morning I was still DJing a 70s soul & disco set while dressed as a nun in miniskirt, stockings and suspenders. At 7 I was on a coach that the party hosts had hired for the demo.
I was with the anti-capitalist and anarchist bloc near the back of the march., grooving down the road with the magnificent 60-strong samba band.
Superb to see such strngth and purpose and such positivity, no lairyness or rucks witht he cops at all, despite them cordoning the samba band and bringing in mounted riot cops behind.
And 15,000 my arse! Trafalgar Square was packed and spilling out on the road on all sides. Someone with my crew rang a mate before we'd even moved off from Hyde Park and the mate was already in Trafalgar Square!
Best slogan I saw; 'You're either for peace or with the terrorists'
Banging the drum for peace!
