Hi,
Is anyone else attending a strike event today? It's essentially my worst nightmare but I feel so strongly about the issue that I have to at least try.
I would love to join the strike today. I should have looked ahead and booked a day off work to join one. My workplace is not taking part.
It was brilliant! I thought the crowds would be closer together but I stood on the periphery and even during the march it wasn't stressful. It's a shame more businesses and schools didn't close for the day but momentum is building. Lovely to see the children and teenagers making the sacrifices my generation should have.
The bit I can't do is chatting to other people and visiting stalls - fills me with dread! Marching I could do all day!
That's great. something so worth doing. So so important. I'm sure if I was there in a crowd like that too, it wouldn't have bothered me too much either.
