04.02 AFTERTHOUGH

The day after the G20 protests, I wandered back toward the Bank of England, littered with the odd copper and peppered with afterthoughts graffitied on the walls.

This one caught my attention. Indeed, the streets were claimed, and overtaken by protesters on mass, blocking the usual parade of taxis and buses and automobiles. Whether we 'reclaimed' the streets is another story - were they really ever intended for us?

In any event, I get the point - and it is one that has been well made in the brightest of oranges, inward from the main road, yet catches your eye - if you're moving at the rate of a pedestrian at least.
