Spanish revolution

Now its the turn of the Spaniards. A movement starting in spain spreads across the world with people occupying spaces in various cities to highlight the injustices created by our polictical systems. If you're thinking that it sounds a bit vague then well yes it was, but by god those spanish do it with passion. It so happens the Bristol Acampada was situated right behind the coffee shop where I work.


They were pleasant people but by the end of a long stint camping out in Bristol city center the camp was deserted leaving it to a handful of British conspiracy nuts. To their credit they knew when to quit whilst they were ahead and even if it didnt put an end to injustice they certainly showed that a protest can last a fair time if you treat the space you occupy with respect.
