Wednesday’s march to defend public sector pensions was brimming with confidence, as trade union members and their supporters took on the government’s austerity agenda direct. Big Smoke was out taking pictures of the various banners and home-made placards we saw.
This is a small sample for your delectation, click to enlarge;
Bad dog!
For the millions not the millionaires
Police violence is un-cool
Nuts to cuts
A lot of work went into this
Don't argue with your teachers
Mental health workers
Who is Fred?
When Irony goes bad
White paper pun
Zombies!
Another banner made especially for the day
Mind your language!
THIEVES!
Homemade banners are often the most appreciated
A bit cartooning
Faceless bureaucrat - boo!
I genuinely love this Elderberry pun
Students defending education
Is this an anarchist banner? It's very well made!
Solidaritea
ABS staff knocked up this banner for the protest
People not profit
Again with the capitalism
And we're out!
