So you may or may not know I was at a protest just a while earlier. It was concerning the Palestine-Israel conflict taking place, in particular about the recent attacks in Gaza. Some of the stories were a real eye-opener and it was great to see people of different ages, religions and ethnicity united for one cause.
Thankfully, there were no outbreaks of violence - though two or three pro-Israel guys appeared towards the end. Very, very few people noticed them and/or heard what they said but the police quickly dragged them off before anything kicked off. For something put together so last-minute, the turn out of 200+ was great.
This was the first protest I'd been to and I'll definitely be at more!
