G20 Focus: Capitalism Doesn't Work
It was almost over before it even started. An old guy dressed up as a "banker-eating zombie", who served as our assembly point, did not appreciate being told by police to stand outside rather than inside London Bridge train station.
Nonetheless, around 50 of us set off with the heart of the financial crisis in our radars, with our "Capitalism Isn't Working" banner leading the way. As we got to the end of the street leading to the station entrance, coming out onto London Bridge itself, there was a bit of a delay which I couldn't understand. I went to the front to see what was going on, and could not believe my eyes. It was not the police holding us up, it was the crowds. Thousands of people filled the streets for as far as the eye could see... on rooftops, roads, railings... everywhere you looked were people who had turned out to support the cause, and placards expressing their feelings. Me and Louise lost each other within seconds. The sun was shining down on London town... it was clear that a historic day had officially begun.

Press and photographers swarmed round our legendary banner with people craning their necks to get a look into the many interviews taking place. I stood up on my wheelchair to get a look... London Bridge at rush hour is one thing, but I don't think I've ever seen so many people, or so many smiles, in my life. We hadn't even started marching and you could tell we had achieved what the apathetics believed was not possible. As I stood there on top of the world, I felt like we were at the initiation of, the birth of, something very special. Then I glanced back at the banner to remember our purpose. A better world is possible. The revolution starts here.
We spilt out onto the roads and pavements and crossed the river in our thousands. Despite the ridiculous and pathetic fuorure created in the mainstream media, the atmosphere was extremely relaxed and thankfully, the police presence minimal and discreet. As the organisers had stressed time and time again - "We're here to have a party!" The post-capitalism brass band were particularly popular, blasting out numbers as we traversed the route and shared jokes with bus and taxi drivers, who clearly weren't going to be moving for a while. And that was the best part about it - this was a march led by the people, not the police and not the authorities. We didn't have official authorisation or prior permission, because that is how political protest in a democratic society is supposed to happen.

In the spirit of the festival-like feeling, it was cool to randomnly bump into a friend of mine, Martin. At this point, I think neither of us realised quite how much time we would be spending together during the next couple of days.
We thrust into the City towards Bank, to be met by thousands more as we converged on the financial centre. After the music, the celebrations and the fun we had getting here, no-one quite knew what was supposed to happen next...
