As PS to the above Huttonian can report that the Prince's Street mendicant is alive and well as his his wee dog-or as much as of it as could be seen from the plastic bag in which it was sheltering from the elements. Sadly now that the scaffolding has been removed from outside one of the many Marks and Sparks in Prince's Street there is no cover for mendicants and wee dogs and the pair were looking thoroughly pussed off. I thought it wise not to stop to pass on advice on how to get the most out of next week ends marches and noted that the military jacket is still his principal outer garment. Probably better that than the FCUK tee shirts for not getting too much up the noses of visiting kindly world saving matrons.
There is some apprehension about next week's demonstrations. Monday sees 14,000 Anarchists (Make Property History?) parading in a presumably unorganised manner and then Wednesday is the St Bob G 8 jamboree. Lots of Embra people are living town ignoring appeals to house the hotelless multitudes in the comfort of some one else's home, shop windows are being boarded up -presumably the usual multinational targets, Mac Donalds et alios and people working in Financial institutions are being instructed to dress down all week so as to be able to mingle unobtrusively with the masses and not run the risk of being lynched as members of the military/industrial/financial/capitalist conspiracy.
I shall be in London
