have hardly seen any posts about this! An estimated 50,000 people in London addressed by speakers, including Russell Brand, after Peoples Assembly marchTens of thousands of people marched through central London on Saturday afternoon in protest at austerity measures introduced by the coalition government. The demonstrators gathered before the Houses of Parliament, where they were addressed by speakers, including comedians Russell Brand and Mark Steel. An estimated 50,000 people marched from the BBCs New Broadcasting House in central London to Westminster. The people of this building [the House of Commons] generally speaking do not represent us, they represent their friends in big business. Its time for us to take back our power, said Brand. This will be a peaceful, effortless, joyful revolution and Im very grateful to be involved in the Peoples Assembly. Power isnt there, it is here, within us, he added. The revolution thats required isnt a revolution of radical ideas, but the implementation of ideas we already have.
