People are clearly gaining in confidence.<br /><br />The banners and posters attracted media interest as visual manifestations of purpose. In particular the hand held "Lollipop" placards bearing images of the Chief Minister and AG (illustrated above on the steps of the Royal Court) caused amusement. The Janus face rotated to reveal behind Terry Le Sueur the former Chief Minister Frank Walker, whilst behind the Monkey was the Bailiff. As the march proceeded through the streets of St Helier, many a small child recoiled in horror at the sight of these devil masks.<br /><br />It was heartening to hear Senator Syvret’s speech calling for a new sense of solidarity and cooperation amongst the protestors. We wait to see in what manner the Senator seeks to manifest the new spirit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591695769525894359.post-89596565800133706252009-07-05T22:09:56.821+01:002009-07-05T22:09:56.821+01:00It was an excellent show of people,and a good atmo...It was an excellent show of people,and a good atmosphere where people were able to converse with strangers at the end in the Royal Square, but after the news tonight that the Historic Abuse Enquiry is to be dropped it will be necessary for more and more people to support these protests and any other meetings/gatherings or actions that may take place.<br /><br />I can only imagine there are a lot of very upset and angry people out there now.

She was looking to find certain information which I will now be able to pass on via the third person which will be able to help her - so something personal has been achieved today being there and hopefully being able to help someone as a consequence - one big chance to get together, chat, share stories and take action no matter how small.One Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06253354413394039558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591695769525894359.post-21346835274102565172009-07-04T23:23:21.076+01:002009-07-04T23:23:21.076+01:00Well done everyone.
