Hippies with mortgages

Traffic was rather heavy in town this afternoon, as an anti-capitalist march was criss-crossing the one-way system: a small group of campaigners in oh-so-amusing costumes were protesting against plans to open a department store in the city centre and a supermarket in Scotforth.

It must have been just breaking up as I passed, since by the time I'd completed my shopping, I'd counted fourteen suddenly-off-duty costumed hypocrites in Sainsbury's.

Yeah! Give your money to a multinational corporation! That'll teach 'em!
