Simon in early days organising circle at Democracy Village,explains getting our messages out.

Early days organising circle at Parliament Square Democracy Village,Simon explains anyone can get there message out by writing up a sign or banner.This was later to be seen on a massive scale in the Occupy movement in over a thousand cities with people writing up sayings and messages on paper or cardboard and holding them up to social and mainstream media.This occupation for Peace Justice and Freedom in the heart of the British so called 'democratic system' helped to inspire and seed many other protests across the world.
The Spanish 15M movement said they were directly inspired by the London Tent protestors.Also in some way this occupation may have been seen and given ideas to the tent occupation of Tahrir square and the Arab Spring.
The worlds media came through Parliament square to hear many different opinions and voices.Helping to raise awareness and build the case against the UK and US illegal wars of aggression for resources in the Middle East.Although some of the British media was very scathing,the International media were regular visitors.After many years of A-B marches the Democracy Village DV was a visible and constant reminder for over 3 months that the majority of the British people were unhappy with the Wars.
