I'm here to express my opposition to third world poverty and to protest about environmental issues. Of course there are factions that want violence, but I've been very distressed to see the way that the police and the media have concentrated on that. Every time there's violence, that just clouds things. We want payment for all the caring work that women and children do across the globe, as well as equality of pay for all.
Women pay the highest price for globalisation and third world poverty.
Multinational companies need to reform their pay structures. I'm involved in campaigning on animal rights, and I've set up outside McDonald's because that company represents, for me, the very worst side of global capitalism. Think of the number of people who are touched by a big corporation like this, from the parents who have to fork out for their kids to eat there, because of their targeted advertising towards children. All for food that doesn't fill people up and is bad for them. June Williams, 50s, from London, retired I came here to show solidarity, and in defiance of the mayor of London, who wants us to stop feeding the pigeons in Trafalgar Square.
