Mayday 2012

The clouds stayed shut and the sun shone (a bit) despite concerns of  traditional annual Mayday protest would be rained off by the heaviest April showers in years.

Occupy protesters joined the major unions, socialist workers and other grassroots and dissident groups, to march to Trafalgar square. After starting out at Finsbury Square camp, Occupy marched through the city, past their old home outside St Pauls, eventually meeting the main protest on the corner of High Holborn and Kingsway, temporarily erecting tents just in time for a quick photocall, then back on the main trail.
