It's G20 today and I'm writing from the office before going to lunch- here everything is quiet, there's a generous sun shining over Central London, making the day pretty bright.
Over a couple of miles east though, the sky is now red with tear-gas and everything is a mess. thousands of people are protesting and the police is there in massive force. The pickle, for me, is... "it's the same city and, nonetheless, without tv, radio, internet you could live your day not noticing it at all. I guess it's a compliment to the London police to allow both protest and normal life at the same time- or it's just that this town is so big that each area can live a different life of its own.
Though... my feet are itchy and i want to see... I guess i'll go there after work today and shoot pictures at what is left. At the moment i can see on tv that for each protester there are at least 5 cameras shooting him... one guy went down while fighting with the police and got surrounded...hemm by photographers!
i'll close the post today with the best chant i've heard from the protests "MAKE LOVE NOT LEVERAGE"
