brilliant round here on whitechapel high street

11.30am thursday
hundreds of bangali schoolkids have skipped out of class and are running along the highstreet with anti-war placards followed by bemused looking plod on horses and in a van, went along with them to a school near their own where the kids were being forcibly stopped from joining them by plod and teachers, everyone in high spirits, chanting, laughing, having a great old time in the warm spring sunshine, plod keeping on top of it but having no impact on the boisterous energy or the fact that they are just heading towrds bethnal green road to, i assume, pick up some more kids,

fire engine came along and some of the firefighters giving the kids the thumbs up just the icing on the cake.
