Dear Helen,
Thanks for that.
'Bush is not very nice' is a gem. I suppose there's a whole range of slogans
for moderate protestors: 'Ban this a bit' and 'We are quite upset about this
situation, but don't want to make a fuss'.
Actually, I think the images produced by news camera-men have been the most
potent spurs for change in the last half-century or so. More so than any
literature, I think.
Kind regards,
 grasshopper
