Blood of Our Children - XR
Downing St, London. Sat 9 Mar 2019
One of the two marches to Downing St halts on Whitehall
Young people hold posters at the front
A line of people carry buckets of fake blood. They intend to get arrested
for throwing it on the street
At Downing St the other march has arrived and is waiting for them
A woman rings a bell - when she stops the the pouring of the blood
will begin
People stand ready with their buckets of fake blood
and the second march arrives with more people with buckets
They stand ready, waiting for the signal (and trying to move photographers
who are in the way back)
The first bucket is poured, and others walk out to pour their buckets
followed by a second wave
and a third
the blood drains across Whitehall
and the speeches begin. All fo the first speakers are young people
People stand and listen in silence
A young pregnant mother speaks
and girl who I think was nine
A very articulate young man
a young Muslim woman
a pair of young students
Those who had poured the fake blood sit patiently waiting to be arrested
- but police took no action
Rebel for LIfe - fathers and children
and a grandmother speaks
