More than the Jane Austen Grand Parade


Literally thousands of people have just marched past in the worldwide climate change protest. About half were children.


These two 9 year-old girls have shown great initiative with their hastily made banner. I wonder what their parents will think when they see the photos...

  1. It's strong language and to the point but not the sort of language that I grew up with as a child.

  2. A subject worthy of strong feelings.
    More important than any political wranglings

    1. It's all political wranglings. That's the essence of it.

  3. I am afraid it needs strong language and, let's face it, these days children know and use words like this all the time. I don't think I knew the words until well after I was married - and even in my teaching days it was rarely used.

  4. If you look closely you will see a lot of them drinking from plastic cups and glasses and probably flew abroad with their parents during the school holidays

    1. Plastic cups? You will have to up your game if you want to win arguments like that, Derek. Try living without plastic and try going abroad without flying.

  5. That fellow in the bottom right of the last frame sees you!
    These kids won't influence the current powers that are, but they can, or will vote soon. Then be elected to office. Then we'll see if they can live knee deep, or actually will begin correcting it.

    1. Oh, wait. I won't be here to see. But whoever is here will see. And probably participate or die young.

    2. So he does. I think the kids feel so strongly about it because they see us as the generation who spent the inheritance. I didn't spend much.

  6. In Brighton, I once say a baby's 'Babygrow' suit in a shop window, printed with the words FUCK OFF. That seemed slightly inappropriate too.

    1. That made me laugh. Keeps all the old grannies away on the streets I suppose!
