Today Is a Nice Day for a Protest

There are big protests going on in London right now. I think it was supposed to be one big protest, but now there are splinter protesters throwing paint on stores and hotels. Because of course throwing paint on buildings will accomplish SO much. I really agree that making Topshop and the Ritz look paint splattered will definitely cause the government to rethink these budget cuts. Yep, that'll do it.

Dave and I walked home from SOHO/Leicester Square, and luckily we made it just in time, because the renegade protesters went after banks in the area not too long after we left. We walked alongside the protesters as they made their way from Westminster to Hyde Park. Here are a few pictures I took along the way.
Some people got dressed up for the protest like the dapper chap in his rolled-up formal shorts and military chic blazer.
This woman went a little gangster, and wore her hat off to the side.
People gathering in Hyde Park.

Not the best pictures, but it's a little taste of what's going on today. We have to take Riley out soon, maybe we'll bring some paint with us and throw it on some stores.
