Playing a variety of messages I walked around the various main roads and carparks
in Manchester. It got to around 3:30 and I had to head off to meet the rest
of the Nato mob for their 'March for Capitalism'. Luckily I was already in a
very smart suit (it makes you look less suspect when carrying a briefcase) so
I absolutely looked the part. The meeting point was a small park next to Canal
St when I arrived there were only a few people there, although the police were
already making their presence known. Random people in suits were hesitantly
walking up and asking
"Erm, I might be barking up the wrong tree, but erm, your not by any chance
here for a protest are you?"
Soon enough the Nato suit bloc arrived being lead by someone wearing a three
headed multi pin striped bodied contraption. Others were suitably attired carrying
a host of placards including:
"More Privatisation"
"Bombs not Bread"
"More Cars Less Trees"
"Fuck the third world"
"More bombs on other countries"
and "Kill all hippies and Commies"
