Down By Law - and down with this sort of thing!



Look everyone, it's Jim Jarmusch. I can't believe he's 58 years-old. Anyway, tomorrow Uniqlo launch a collection of men's t-shirts in honour of three of the director's best 1980s films. OK, you know what I think about mid-lifers in slogan tees but much better than a Wills and Kate commemorative mug, no?







And talking of slogans, here are some of my favourite placards from the march in London yesterday. Oh yes, Mr & Mrs That's Not My Age were there to oppose the Government cuts, and our experience was that of a peaceful protest. The coalition even managed to cut the sunshine too, but everyone was good-humoured and well-behaved. Apart from a random bunch of posh boys playing at anarchists. Though it was more of a shuffle than a march, three hours to get from Victoria Embankment to Trafalgar Square.



Watch out for Boy George Osborne:




That's Not My Age loved the War Horse, here it is saying hello to some four-legged friends at Horse Guards Parade



And then later, trotting off down Whitehall:






What have you been up to this weekend?

    Great stuff - wish I could have got there. Long time since I have been on a march, but there is something satisfying about it, if you believe in something.

    Good on you for joining in. I think I've become a bit apathetic lately, must try harder. Great banners and I love the horse. xxx

    While I admired Down by Law, I confess, it bored me to pieces:).

    Love this! Looks like a lot of fun for a good cause. We're going to need a sense of humor to get through all this.

    I saw a good slogan, too: GIVE US REGIME CHANGE IN THE UK. But I'm sorry I missed the war horse.

    Elizabeth - I haven't felt compelled to take to the streets since the Poll Tax march, but you're right it is satisfying.

    LPC - you won't be buying a t-shirt then?

    Amanda - one of my favourite placards just said 'This is shit,' unfortunately I didn't get a decent photo of it.

    I have no idea about t shirts having never owned one but they look rather nice.

    The placards are fantastic! And the War Horse... have you seen it at the theatre? xx

    Thrilled to see Jim Jarmusch tees. Wish they had one with the bit that hubs and I still quote: "We go to Cleveland, in Ohio."
