Photo from the London Pride event today shows the group of Youth Demand activists sitting in front of CISCO’s float holding buckets of red paint and Palestinian flags. The parade was delayed for about an hour while the protesters were removed and five people arrested.
Youth Demand claimed on social media: 'Technology corporation CISCO has a long standing partnership with the Israeli military and enables the mass murder of Palestinians through advanced military communication networks facilitated by their Unified Communication systems.
'They have willingly supplied their technology to strengthen Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza and have NO place at London pride.

I remember when Pride WAS a protest.. before it became a pinkwashing exercise for council and corporate types.

I was there (and I'm in this video looking late 20's and cool in my denim and shades) .. and we marched down Oxford Rd with all the traffic and riot police and everything.. A friend Geoff Stafford has video of the actual march which was on his website, but for the life of me I can't remember the name of it

in reply to Joy

would you care to tell me a bit about the process you use to make these? I've never seen anything like it. Are they drawn by hand on the foil and rubbed onto the paper? The gold and rainbow ones especially are so cool!

@lizzard They're drawn by hand on an ipad and then printed with a laser printer. I run the print with foil through a laminator and the heat makes the toner stick to the foil. Thanks!!
in reply to Joy

that is *so* cool. Thanks for sharing!

Also, compliments on your photo-realistic drawings. The many fine lines really fit that foil style well.

1. One thing you need to realise about the British Establishment is that it uses clowns to express its deepest desires. People like Rod Liddle offer a kind of deniability - "lighten up, he's just having a laugh". But they deliver a closer representation of its truths than any sober editorial.

2. They all chortle along, and then suddenly they mean it. This is what we saw when Boris Johnson became Prime Minister. It was still all one big laugh - cheer up, he isn't serious - then 200,000 people were dead with Covid.
