Ik zag dit pal naast het Ministerie van Financiën, vond ik daar wel op zijn plaats.
Is hier waarschijnlijk blijven hangen (plakken) na een van de vele protesten die Den Haag de laatste maanden heeft gehad.
We leven in een land waar dit allemaal mag en kan.

Hundreds of people turned up to hear Jeremy Corbyn speak at a rally opposing Tory plans to weaken trade unions.
The Labour leader received a rapturous welcome from the crowd on the steps of Cardiff Museum as they waved banners against UK Government cuts after a march through the city centre on Saturday afternoon.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has spoken out against plans to restrict public sector strikes following a protest march in Cardiff.
He accused the Tories of "taking away the most effective means of securing better pay and working conditions" with the Trade Union Bill.
Mr Corbyn said he was "proud" of the work unions did trying to create a "decent collective society".
Around 400 people took part in the march on Saturday.
The Labour leader did not march himself, but addressed campaigners when they returned to their starting point at the steps of the city's National Museum.
Speaking from the top of a fire engine, Mr Corbyn said: "We've been through some terrible struggles, such as the miners' strike in the 80s."
He said workers continued to struggle in different ways, and defended their right to strike.
Not exactly sure what these guys are protesting about; there seems to be a number of issues in the mix, some local, some of wider applicability. I suspect there's a fair sweep of libertarianism in their approach, which I'm generally against, but they appear to despise Klaus Schwab and the WEF and that's cool with me. They at least have a right to have their voice heard.

I have done three shapes of blue and one of red overlaid with essence-grabbing lines and shapes by my own software.
The man with the megaphone is Steve Bray, aka Stop Brexit Steve.
Het is een protest tegen de snelheidsverhoging op de A13, die dwars door hun wijk loopt. De lucht is daardoor 25 procent viezer geworden.

After visiting the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protest gathering in Zuccotti Park last week (which you can see in this Flickr site), I thought I would have a good idea of what to expect when I decided to visit the Occupy Los Angeles gathering outside City Hall in Los Angeles early Saturday morning. And to some extent, I was right: the protest was still focused on the excesses of the richest and most powerful 1% of the population, as well as corruption and paralysis in Washington.
But New York and Los Angeles are obviously on opposite sides of the country -- and in some respects, the two protests were completely different. It was already pleasantly warm when I showed up at 8:30 in the morning, and the previous evening had been seasonably mild; by contrast, it wet and freezing cold in New York City, with the earliest snow-fall in over 150 years making life somewhat miserable for the hundreds of shivering protesters who squatted under a long blue tarp that had been stretched over the food kitchen.
The mild weather may explain the first visible difference that I saw between the two "occupy" gatherings: there were many more tents in Los Angeles, each one seeming to hold three or four people who were just beginning to poke their heads out, sniffing the air for the presence of coffee or food that they could use to break their overnight fast. There was no need for heavy coats or hats or mittens; all I saw in Los Angeles was a few sweaters and light jackets. A visitor to my Flickr site jokingly asked why I had not photographed one of the (female) protesters in a topless outfit, and why none of the people were nude. Well, if that was going to happen, it would have happened in Los Angeles, not New York; and as for Los Angeles, the most extreme clothing I saw was one woman wearing a fairly un-revealing bikini top. Hardly the stuff of Woodstock; so much for the idea of sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll at these gatherings.
Speaking of rock-n-roll: there was none. But in Los Angeles, there were a lot more people with guitars. And mandolins, and fiddles, and even someone with a flute. Some of them played quietly, for their own amusement; but several of them drifted together beneath a statue that led up the stairs to the front entrance of City Hall, and jammed extemporaneously, with several simple, but enjoyable songs. I video-recorded several of these musical efforts, and I'll combine all of them together into a "composite" music-video on YouTube.
Another difference between Los Angeles and New YOrk involved the presence of cameras. Quite simply, there were many more in New York, and while I did not see any major-media journalists or reporters, there did seem to be a number of quasi-professional independent journalists who were not only photographing and recording everything they could see, but also interviewing everyone who looked interesting. Not so, in Los Angeles; yes, there were a few people with video cameras and DSLR still cameras (including me), but I only saw one or two interviews taking place. Ironically, I was one of the people interviewed: an earnest young man told me he was taking a class that required him to interview photographers at the protest gathering, and he wanted to know what I thought of the whole scene.
So I told him, in a summary fashion, what I had already written in the notes accompanying my OWS Flickr set, and I told him that I thought the Los Angeles gathering was quieter, with less energy, and more people just wandering around somewhat aimlessly. There were no speeches, there was no shouting, and there was almost no police presence. I did see two cops standing at the top of the stairs leading to the front entrance of of City Hall, but they vanished about half an hour after I arrived.
One last note, which may strike some readers as biased or unfair -- but I saw what I saw: several people wandered down the various sidewalks leading out of City Hall Park ... and then returned via the same sidewalks, ten or fifteen minutes later, carrying a large cup of Starbucks coffee. The revolution, it seems, runs on Starbucks.
That's when I began focusing on the clothing worn by the protesters. As noted above, it was obviously much warmer than it was in New York City, so perhaps I should not have been surprised to see half a dozen or more people wandering around barefoot. But the other thing that struck me was how carefully several of the people were dressed, and how much attention they seemed to have spent to make their physical appearance look appropriately fashionable, while simultaneously being disheveled and hippy. Like I said, I might be biased: you can look at the pictures and judge for yourself.
I spent more time here than I did in New York -- roughly three hours before I decided that I had seen everything there was to see. But as a result, I got a lot more pictures - some 700+ still pictures, and a dozen video clips. I've winnowed it down, as best I could, to 200 keepers. Enjoy!

Ukrainian protesters call for the freeing of Ukrainian soldiers who were captured at the end of the 86 day long Russian siege of the Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol.

I'm not clear whether "Liberate Azov" on the notice in the foreground refers to the Sea of Azov region of Ukraine or to members of the Azov regiment still held in Russia.
The Azov regiment played a prominent role in the defence of Mariupol against the Russian invasion which saw the city reduced to ruins. However, there have been worrying reports regarding alleged links between some of its members and far right groups and ideology.

Oct. 15, 2012: On this day, the day of the siege to the Parliament, the Portuguese government revealed details of its draft budget for 2013, one of the most severe in the country's recent history.
Today, Oct. 31, the budget may be approved... A public demonstration is being organized to protest against it and, somehow, prevent it from being approved. Besides that, there's an agenda for a meeting between the government and the CGTP, where this trade union is going to make proposals for alternative measures... Let's see!

This is probably the first and last time the Picasso sculpture in Daley plaza gets written on. Anytime after this it has been blocked off. This is one my all time favorite photos I have taken. It was right before the war with Iraq was launched and about 15,000 people showed up. This was after everyone was leaving. It almost feels like it could be from any time period. Lots of unplanned chaos coinciding. The NO WAR looks like it is floating.
