First Pics of the Devizes Protest

It’s very busy here with lots of people attending the protest.  There have been a number of speaches and the local Member of Parliament has vowed to do all he can to stop the Defra cuts.  He informed us that the EU have fined Defra over £300 million for mismanagement.. jeeeeeeez what a waste of money that is.. so here are some early pics then..

There is plenty of entertainment going on too, and lots of walkers, cyclists and canoeists..(is that how you spell that?!) joining in.  I have already tucked into a lovely burger in a bun and a pint of good beer!

Tonight there is music and a buffet I think and tomorrow breakfast will be available.. should be a good weekend.. more boats are turning up now and the canal is blocked completely.. and it will stay that way I think until tomorrow
