I can’t help feeling that yesterday afternoon was a waste of time. I decided to go to an anti-cuts protest on Westminster Bridge – there’s no point me constantly writing ‘down with the government’ on here if I just sit a home and don’t o anything about it. It was a fairly nice affair, calm and well organised, noisy but not rowdy or violent. But that is the problem: after an hour, the protest broke up and people went home as calmly as they would after a day at the cricket. We are too nice too obedient in this country. What’s the point? Such a protest will just be ignored and the shits in government will just keep cutting.

We need more cajones, more of the gall of our continental brothers. People are dying because of these cuts, because of ATOS carrying out CaMoron’s dirty work. I just read that their reforms to ILF have been declared unlawful – good news indeed, but more has to be done to stop what is happening. At least now we have legal backing that what they are doing is wrong. We should have stayed on westminster bridge las night, no matter what the police told us; we should have blocked central London and not left until we saw CaMoron’s resignation letter. The time has come for proper direct action, proper civil disobedience, rather than jut a load of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
