Then the magic of hashtags brings you interesting news from those who are.

There’s a collection of updates from marchers, including the Voice’s own Kate Adie Helen Duffett, over at twemes or Twitter Search.

She’s also uploading pictures as she goes, including ones of Liberal Youth and Susan Kramer.

I was there and I noticed we were outnumbered by the smaller Green party, which was a shame. Having said that, many of us did not know about it until a few days ago. The party should publicise it better than that.
Good to see the Liberal Youth getting involved.

The Party also needs to look at its organisation for events like this. We could and should have produced a 4 page tabloid to give out. We also need a proper Party Banner. Both these things would make our presence seem stronger.
I agree with Geoffrey that we sgould have promnoted it more through LDN etc.
Street politics and demos won’t win an election, but being visible does improve our credibility on major issues like this.
