It struck me that many of the people who are likely to turn out for the demos next Tuesday and Wednesday are likely to be retired given that the demo is in the middle of the working week and I began to wonder what the local constabulary would make of that. After all, demonstrators are usually students or young adults - silver-surfers they are not.
Then I thought a little harder. These folks are the children of the 60s and 70s - to whom demonstration was almost a way of life. I must confess that for a period in the 70s I was known in Bristolian National Union of Student circles as "Red Angus" - and carried a notorious banner that promoted free assistance for marine cetaceans of indeterminate colour and gender assignment - it saved producing a new banner for every new demo.
So, far from being the "slippers by the fire, snooze after lunch" generation, the group likely to be out in force belong to the most militant generation ever seen in the UK - but we do promise to be good!
Do come and join us for one, or all of the sessions we have planned by joining the A360 between Longbarrow Roundabout and the new roundabout at Airman's Cross a the times shown below:
Tuesday 17th December 2013
08:30 until 10:00
and
13:00 until 16:00
Wednesday 18th December 2013
08:30 until 10:30
