A good time was had by all
"I've never done anything like this before, where there's been no trouble and everyone was so happy."
(Comment by a police officer at the end of the MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY march and festival in Edinburgh yesterday)
225 000 people were there to call upon the leaders of the G8 to act justly for the poor in aid, trade and debt, and a great time was had by all. After travelling overnight to Edinburgh, and overnight back again, we arrived back in Cardiff at about 5.30 this morning.
Pictures, highlights, and observations from the festival coming soon.

Well done. Hope you're able to catch up on your sleep today.

Good! That means there were more people in Edinburgh yesterday than at the Live8 concert in Hyde Park. Wish the Live8 coverage had cut more to the MPH march.
Looking forward to seeing your reports on the day ... and justice after G8.
