Make Poverty History - Edinburgh

A few of us from Sanctus1 were in Edinburgh on Saturday for the Make Poverty History rally and march. It was a fantastic day: I got up at 5:45am to get the coach, followed by a few hectic hours with 225,000 other people, before getting the coach home to catch the final song of Live8 and then the England vs Aussie draw at cricket. What a day...

The was a really positive feel to the day. Loads of people from different walks of life coming together for this unique moment in human history. I really hope that it makes a difference and that the leaders of the G8 will listen.

The only slight downside was the Social Workers and Respect, who were trying to piggy back the event for their own agenda. To me it is incredibly sad that people cannot see beyond their own party politics to the bigger picture.
