ok, So just back from the JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL demo in central London.
There was a face book group set up and over 100 people had confirmed attendance… surprise surprise, the only fans who actually bothered being there were fans who always get involved and actually cared enough about Michael to go and see him when he was here!!!! Where the fuck were the rest of you, the ones who sit behind a computer and are all talk, yet when it comes down to it, cant be bothered to get off your fucking lazy backsides and do something for Michael!!!
ok now the rant is over, it was great to meet up with everyone again, fans who I have got to know over the years at hotels.
I got there about 1.15pm and we started putting up banners . Then our day kinda took an unexpected turn. A hippy dippy peace and love group turned up, complete with samba drums and proceeded to turn Picidilly into a musical LOVE IN woodstock type thingy!!
It kinda worked in our favour though, cos we got alot of interested people, taking photos of us and asking us questions. We ended up just going with the hippy dippy flow and in fact both groups ended up having fun in an odd sort of way.
Whenever they stopped playing music, we would scream “JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL” etc.
One really comical bit was when they got everyone to join in a PEACE AND LOVE circle. This ended up being everyone holding hands in a giant circle all the way around the main EROS fountain. Our JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL banner display got huge publicity as it was right in the centre of the huge PEACE AND LOVE circle. One of the MJ fans then did a slow lap of honour, holding a huge Justice banner, in the inside of the hippy dippy peace and love circle, with all of us cheering and screaming Justice on the sidelines.
Near the end, the hippy dippy people started writing peace and love slogans on the ground with chalk, so of course, the MJ fans joined in, writng our own messages of L.O.V.E.
It was fun spending time with other fans, and for a while, it felt like old times, happier times, when we used to just take over London when Michael was here……….
will post some photos tomorrow
