Around 35,000 protesters gathered in the rain in London today for a huge march for “jobs, justice and climate” in the first of a week of demonstrations ahead of the G20 summit.

The Put People First march involved an alliance of 150 groups, including unions, charities, environmental campaigners and faith organisations. Campaigners are expected to target bankers and city financiers who they blame for the global recession.

1. YES!!! PUT PEOPLE FIRST!!!

NOT corporations. NOT stockholder's.

PEOPLE ~ REAL flesh & blood PEOPLE! And I have NEVER understood why 'stockholder's (who are real people) ONLY seem to look out for their monetary gain, when THEY are contributing to poisoning their ownselves, their own children, their own grandchildren.

There are MANY MORE THINGS MORE IMPORTANT than 'money'.

8. Nope......never even saw that before you drew it to my attention.

What that says to me is that many people who are mostly honest and straightforward ALL HAVE COME TO THE EXACT SAME CONCLUSION! And we are a mighty FORCE that IS pushing back against the insanity of the stupid/greedy-beyond-reason pustules that are the "powers that be".
