Stumbled upon this protest in Westminster today. I had gone for the General Inspection of Changing of the Guard but never got past this unreconstructed facet of the labour movement with its dinosaurs (Corbyn, Abbott) hairy bearded older gents (and ladies too) Although as a disabled pensioner I empathise.
In these photos, taken in Johannesburg in 2012, SAMWU had been demonstrating against tolling of the countries roads and the use of labour broking. The march had been termed the mother of all protest actions. The one day march had been successful and resulted in the Government temporarily halting the introduction of road tolling and significant in-roads in discussions aimed at bringing an end to labour broking.
Protest signs at the front door.The village of Doel along the river Scheldt has turned into a ghost town. There used to be 900 inhabitants. The village will be demolished to make way for another dock of the harbor of Antwerp. It is very eerie walking around; here and there some people still live in their houses, putting a sign in their window to let the destruction companies know to not demolish their property. Doel has been known in Belgium for the 25-year old nuclear power plant looming like a giant over the village. .© All rights reserved

This propoganda resulted in a protest by Oregon students, faculty, and ongoers. It was unneccessary and sickening to look at, but it got the reaction it was looking for. People were additionally livid and offended that the spot had been reserved by the UO Republican Party.

Protesters outside the Supreme Constitutional Court in Cairo, June 14, 2012. The court on Thursday ruled that the Islamist-led Parliament must be immediately dissolved, while also blessing the right of ousted President Hosni Mubarak’s last prime minister to run for president, escalating a battle for power between the remnants of the toppled order and rising Islamists.

Protesters outside the Tower supporting the WRC. Today 18 students occupied the office of President Powers of UT in an attempt to "make UT sweatshop free." All 18 students were arrested.
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.
Needless to say, I'm glad that I charged my camera and decided to head out... otherwise I would have missed this completely!
