Today I lay down in the street (outside Pret). Haven’t lain down in the street since performance art events in the 70s. Must say it felt very good!

Young people are realising that protest is a bonding. It energises. Nippers are having fun waving flags and chanting. As the Gaza demonstrations get bigger and bigger, a whole new generation, more than one generation, of activists is being brought to life. The lion of the people has awoken at last. Bystanders are cheering, lots of vehicles are hooting their encouragement. This bodes well for the future.
