During 16-19 sept 2010 the Pope paid a state visit to the UK.The media were pretty hostile and I was just walking around central London and came upon this demo with maybe 3/4000 participants.There was a rabble rowser with loud speakers chanting slogans to which the throng responded,much like a religious service all it needed were a few plaster saints.Fairly good natured with a minimum police presence.Afterwards no doubt they all went off for a latte or a pint knowing they had been allowed to express their views which had received wide publicity.
