Saturday 23 May 2009: The Government of the Dead returned to the streets of London yet again, this time to tell all the members of parliament caught in up in the expenses scandal that "All of them must go!", a slogan taken from the recent Argentinean and Icelandic movements that removed their own governments.
The Guy Fawkes Revenge flash mob was thwarted though, as Britain's MPs were on a week long holiday. Fireworks were set off at the entrance of parliament and University of East London Professor Chris Knight attempted to walk into parliament, but was turned away by police.
The Government of the Dead have promised to return on Monday 1 June, when parliament reconvenes.

I see I didn't miss a great deal being up in Islington for the Jobs march!
You seem to have captured it nicely but it doesn't seem there was much there - it seems it was rather a damp squib.
Hope you got some good film later in the day.
