Members did go to both these events. The one in Hyde Park had some 40,000 or so, mainly churchgoers and with no "political" presence apart from us. At least those there could see the contradiction between the world being capable of producing enough food for all and millions going undernourished or starving, even if they didn't attribute this to capitalism. Even Bill Gates, one of the richest men in the world, who spoke, could see this. But even if he gave all of his millions to the starving it wouldn't solve the problem.About 80 people attended the ex-SWPers meeting. The only other group leafletting the meeting were the AWL but they didn't seem too satisfied with it.
It's possible that the left didn't attend Hyde Park because the left believe abundance does not exist or that socialism will not involve a fundamental change in the mode of production.

Yep that. Before I give the god-botherers too much slack, had to quote this
Quote:5.25pmThe Big IF London hosts, Myleene Klass and Gethin Jones, return to the stage for the final time this afternoon. Myleene says: "You have been part of history today. FACT!", while Gethin adds: "Tell your children, I was there when we finally said ENOUGH with hunger!"
