Privilege: rich get richer, poor get poorer

I took this photo -- of my son Tyler -- at a protest opposite 10 Downing Street on Saturday May 30, 2015, aimed primarily at defending the Human Rights Act against theTories' vile plans to scrap it -- plans which would need us to leave the Council of Europe and the European Union if they are to be realised -- as well as leaving us in a club of two in Europe, with the dictatorship Belarus, of countries that have turned their backs on human rights legislation.

Tyler had been with his friends at a UK Uncut protest that had started at Waterloo and had involved a 20-metre banner being hung over the side of Westminster Bridge facing Parliament which read, "£12bn more cuts. £120bn tax dodged. Austerity is a lie."

The Downing Street event was called The Great British Right Off! - Protest for the Human Rights Act, and the Facebook page explained that it involved "young trade unionists, students, the disabled and other campaigners and activists who strive for social justice and equality."
