the police presence at Town Hall is unfuckingbelievable. They are deep inside the station, stopping and searching people at the top of the stairs from the platform. Absolutely off the charts I have never seen anything like it and I have protested for over 40 years.

"Dr [M L] King understood that peaceful protest is not an act of hate. It is a profound expression of care for a nation’s moral health. He never called for the delegitimising of another group. True peace, he famously taught, is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.”
