the faithful dressed in white..

making poverty history is a seriously good passtime
as a hobby, i think it has lots of levels. extreme making poverty history took place in edinburgh en masse this saturday afternoon.
the splendour of seeing more people than you would ever sit and count wearing any old white clothes they owned, (or making them specially, you know..) was something i won't forget easily.
we had no bob, no bono, no bush no blair
eddie was there. as were some oddly chosen bands such as "who's this again..i recognise this" "texas" "oh of course" it was like that.
apparently merry or pippin was there too.
there was a big dress.
some riot police.
a march.
lots of kids.
yellow cranes.
too many whistles.
lots of placards kindly donated by the mirror...who's signature white writing on red background was hastily torn off every placard they had kindly donated..everywhere you went you could see their sponsorship scattered round..
hellicopters.
no drunk people.
some lovely old people.
lots of palestinian flags.
drumming.
always someone from the group missing.
lots of white sash plastic ribbon stuff that made everyone look like miss world.
and other measurements as well.
you will be hearing more about the matter from me, here
