The Morning After...
#11
I suppose with the change of President in the United States, it's nice to see carefully
-worded pieces in the State-run television company, the BBC are still keeping the
'Fake News' flag flying.

Women's March: UK protesters join anti-Donald Trump marches.

Thousands of protesters have taken part in a Women's March in London as
part of an international campaign on the first full day of Donald Trump's presidency.

They marched from the US embassy to Trafalgar Square - as part of UK-wide
rallies to highlight women's rights.

Organisers said up to 100,000 people took part in London, although that has
not been independently verified.

It comes on a day of global protests, with the biggest demonstration taking place
in the US capital, Washington DC.

Hundreds of thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of Washington
- one of more than 600 rallies taking place worldwide on the new US president's
first full day in office...'
The BBC:

And this is how it's done, crafted narrative to imply one thing -and unknowingly
to the women protesting, diluting their actual message.

It's just another way of blaming a guy who's been in office for one full day and
in another country that can't make laws for the one you're living in.

...AND a reason for upper-middle-class women to Freddie-F*uckaround in Trafalgar
Square and maybe get some shopping done when the ex-BBC employees quit their
speeches.
(See below)

'...Thousands of women - and some men - are preparing to march in 14 UK
cities and towns on Saturday, the first day of Donald Trump's US presidency.

But what is the Women's March all about?

The events draw inspiration from the Women's March on Washington, a protest
set to take place on Saturday and expected to draw crowds of 200,000 people.

Demonstrators there say they will be calling for racial and gender equality,
affordable healthcare, abortion rights and voting rights - issues which they
say are under threat from a Trump presidency.

But as Trump is the president of the US, what do protesters in the UK hope to
achieve?

British marchers have highlighted a wide range of issues: the Brexit vote,
anti-immigration feeling, the refugee crisis and Irish and Northern Irish
women being denied access to abortion...'
Why They're Marching:

Clockwise from top left: banners on bridges in London, Bath, Oxford, Edinburgh.
(Oddly enough, these towns voted to remain in the European Union.)
