Photo from the London Pride event today shows the group of Youth Demand activists sitting in front of CISCO’s float holding buckets of red paint and Palestinian flags. The parade was delayed for about an hour while the protesters were removed and five people arrested.
Youth Demand claimed on social media: 'Technology corporation CISCO has a long standing partnership with the Israeli military and enables the mass murder of Palestinians through advanced military communication networks facilitated by their Unified Communication systems.
'They have willingly supplied their technology to strengthen Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza and have NO place at London pride.

I remember when Pride WAS a protest.. before it became a pinkwashing exercise for council and corporate types.

I was there (and I'm in this video looking late 20's and cool in my denim and shades) .. and we marched down Oxford Rd with all the traffic and riot police and everything.. A friend Geoff Stafford has video of the actual march which was on his website, but for the life of me I can't remember the name of it
