May Day Demonstration 2009, Manchester, England
Manchester, England. 4th May 2009. Around 1000 people marched through Manchester, England to celebrate May Day. In Britain May Day is a national paid holiday. If it falls on a weekend, the holiday is usually the first week day after it. That is why this demo took place on Monday 4th May.
The theme of the demo was
–The right to work for ALL.
–Say NO to the (nazi) British National Party (BNP).
The European Union elections take place in June and the BNP only has to gain 8.4 % of the vote to gain a seat in the European Parliament under the EU’s electoral system of proportional representation. A lot of campaigning to get a large turn out is going to prevent this from happening. The more people who vote, the less likely it is that the BNP will be elected
As you will see the substantial Congolese delegation on this demo stole the show with their lively singing and dancing all along the route of the demo.
The demo was followed by a festival and a series of workshops:

An unarmed, peaceful Palestinian protester is killed by a high velocity gas grenade fired at point blank range by an Israeli soldier on 17th April 2009.
I don’t recall seeing this in the Western press. Why? Will this soldier be tried for this crime? |Or will the culture of impunity continue?
