Free Burma march & rally, London

Here are a few snaps from the Free Burma march in London on Saturday 6 October. Great to see the supportive crowd although since then, it really feels like the Burma issue has dropped out of the public's consciousness completely. News of talk of threatened sanctions is about all that's getting press. Meanwhile, what the hell's happening within the country?

[Since posting this, the I've been asked to include the above two snaps on the Free Burma Group pics on Flickr...which is jolly.]


Base of Nelson's Column, commemorating his victory at the Battle of Copenhagen, 1801. Someone had tied a red Free Burma ribbon on one of the toes of the figures. It looked rather dramatic...a bit like the chap's foot was bleeding. I'm sure there's a more esoteric and meaningful analogy to be made...but it escapes me.
