Parents and children protesting in George Square against Glasgow Council's plans to close 23 schools and nurseries.
This afternoon I decided to go out and take some photos. Just as I was about to ride out of the city, I looked behind me and saw a large group of people protesting about something. I decided to abandon my initial project for the day and follow the group instead.
From the pamphlets being distributed by the protesters, and word of mouth, I determined that this was essentially a protest about an eviction. There is a house in the centre of Leiden that, for the past 40 years, has been occupied by squatters. During the 40 years they have been there, the building became somewhat of a cultural centre. Just recently, the local Council decided to evict them: and today they peacefully expressed their objection to the Council's proposal.
I started following the protest from the intersection of the Hooigracht and Nieuwe Rijn, and followed them down Nieuwe Rijn to the Herengracht. From the Herengracht, they turned left along Oude Rijn and into the Haarlemmerstraat. From the Haarlemmerstraat, they travelled up to the Prinsessekade and onto the Breestraat. While travelling down the Breestraat, they stopped and made a point outside the Town Hall, before making their way back to Hooglandse Kerkgracht and the building in question.
This was taken right before the group arrived at the steps of the Town Hall on the Breestraat.
Needless to say, I'm glad that I charged my camera and decided to head out... otherwise I would have missed this completely!
Comments are, of course, welcomed!

Protesters closed off one of the busiest intersections by hijacking buses. They where armed with just baseball bats, metal pipes, and large pieces of wood. Only one bus driver was injured and rushed to the hospital. The protesters didn't let any vehicle pass. If they happen to be in a motorcycle they would be asked to get off it and walk by if they wanted to pass. This went on from noon till sun sett. The reason for this was due to land issues in the state of Oaxaca.

The aim of the protest was to procure equal pension rights for British Army Gurkha soldiers, who had retired before 1997, when equality with British soldiers pensions was introduced. The protest ended when the British government agreed to talks with Gurkha representatives, who had massive public support.
The Gurkhas, are Nepalese soldiers, and have served in the British Army for over 200 years, participating in most major conflicts and operations all over the world.
