Women On The March, Glasgow.

       Today, Tuesday October 23rd., the streets in the centre of Glasgow were greeted to a joyful, good humoured, noisy procession.  Care workers, council employees, were on strike for parity of pay with men, and held a procession, ending with a rally in George Square. As they noisily weaved their way through the streets of Glasgow, they were greeted by applause from the side of the road, though sadly, I must say, mainly by women. This is a dispute that has dragged on for about ten years now. It is strange that in a so called democracy they are still fighting for equality and justice. What is about fairness and justice that the powers that be don't understand?

     I would put the numbers about a thousand or so, a fair turnout. While watching the energy, solidarity, boisterous and vociferous nature of the whole affair, the thought occurred to me, that if we want a revolution in the UK, we should perhaps leave it to the women, they seem to come together in a much more rebellious nature.

Glasgow, Anti-Racism March With Everybody And Their Dog.

        This year, as in the past, Glasgow's Anti-Racism March on Saturday 29th. November, was a friendly, colourful and well attended affair. I always find it exciting to part of a large gathering of friendly, like minded people, who are prepared to make a stand in favour of justice and equality, I could wax lyrically about it all, but instead, I'll let some of the photos tell the story.

       Of course no march, protest, demonstration would be complete without its dancing dog.
