I RECENTLY took part in a demonstration of around 2,000 people along the Thames to protest over the local water company allowing sewage to pollute the river.
It was a very polite and almost genteel affair. There was a little bit of slogan-shouting but nothing major. In fact, at one point, I was startled when someone behind us shouted something. I’m just not used to such quiet and polite protests.
