Everybody And Their Dog.


     The 17th of November saw the start of mass demonstrations across Greece commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Athens Polytechnic uprising that heralded the eventual fall of the military junta. The the marches, demonstrations and protests were mainly marking that historic moment in Greek history, it was also an opportunity to voice their anger at the forced deprivation at the hands of the Troika puppets, the Greek government.
    The events were a mixture of noise, colour and lots of passion.

    On this day, everybody and their dog were there, all with a message, the system stinks.

The dog's poster reads, 'Against Euro and Dollar no to money'. 

     Even a dog knows that would work. As I said, there was variety and ingenuity in the protests and demonstrations, but I personally think this one takes a lot of balls.
