Bank protesters are rebels with a cause

EVERY day, at 1pm and 6pm, they gather for a general assembly.

Somebody takes the loudhailer and lists an agenda. This might include some housekeeping issues such as security, or, as it did last Thursday evening, details of a forthcoming march.

A few feet away from the gathering, the city centre traffic trundles loudly by. Most people are getting on with their lives, but this gathering believes it’s time to pause, and proclaim that this can’t go on.
