No link because I saw it for real.
Oxford circus today about 1.30. Lots of honking of horns, which is nothing odd. Lots of buses going nowhere, which again is normal. It was the OAPs who had chained themselves to the fronts of the buses and the guys (and gals) who had handcuffed themselves to the backs of the buses and padlocked their wheelchairs together.
I stopped for a quick chat because they didn't look like the average rent a mob and they weren't. Terribly nice, very genteel but desperate. Victims of the Coalition and the 'reforms' to the benefit system.
Fabulous to see people protesting but depressing that they felt they had no other route by which they could be taken seriously. Despicable treatment of the poor and least able to fight for themselves by the government.
