Budget Day At Downing St

Whitehall, London. Wed 21 March 2012


 
 Suddenly at 11am people arrived and a banner was unwrapped

 And the Unemployment Office queue was set up outside Downing St
      
 People were organised to stand in pairs, but it wasn't possible to get a picture like the original, there were simply too many other people around

 not to mention a wall in the middle of the pavement that hid most of the queue from the angle needed.

It was one of those good ideas that many photographers are familiar with from editors that ignore the practicalities

  but it was still a good opportunity to take pictures, if very different from the poster.
 
'Anonymous' again put in an appearance in that 'V for Vendetta' mask 

and there were placards from CND for people to write how they would prefer the money wasted on Trident to be spent 

Campaigners call for a 'Robin Hood' or Tobin tax on financial transactions 

This was about the closed I could get to the poster 

Caroline Lucas MP joined in the queue
