Volume not violence M'aidez-Mayday online protest review

A huge thank-you to everyone who joined the online protest. Let's hope that following our collective protest, common sense prevails and our governments adopt a conciliatory response to counter the current phase of madness. However, if this proves not to be the case, then today will be the first salvo in a sustained campaign for freedom and justice against oppressive class/finance-based apartheid.

Together we stand, divided we fall. There is strength in numbers and we must use our advantage while we can. Demonstrations will be suppressed, free-speech will be silenced, there may be casualties (RIP Ian Tomlinson). I fully believe in giving peace a chance, but I fear our leaders desire to give war it's due is the more probable future. Ignorance and thuggery are the hallmarks of despots blinded by power. However, although the cost of revolution varies, it is better to fight for freedom than live with oppression and in time justice always prevails. There are dark days ahead, but hold strong to your ideals and together we can impart change for better.

There are many ways to achieve collective protest. Today is not the end of the battle, it is the beginning of a new phase of resistance. Watch this space for future phases of the campaign for equality, opportunity and freedom for all.
