Incredible scenes from Hyde Park, all to put pressure on the G8 leaders in Edinburgh this coming week. If they’re not listening now, will they ever?
The shit is well and truly going to hit the fan if they don’t … and it’ll be Uncle Bob pressing the on switch, backed by seemingly most of the country and the wider world.
If they/we pull this off, it could be the most amazing thing mankind has ever done. Forget landing on the moon, this has the potential to be way bigger. Most of us dream of living in a better world. Imagine how great it would be if it wasn’t only a dream.

I’ve just received this (below) via e-mail and thought it is worth spreading the word by sticking a copy of it up here.
Hi,
Tonight Make Poverty History is going to make television history.
At 19.58, across almost every TV channel, a short film featuring Brad Pitt, Bono, Cameron Diaz and many more famous faces, will show exactly why the opportunity we have this year to bring an end to poverty shouldn’t be wasted.
It’s called “Click” because in about the time it takes for you to click your fingers a person dies of extreme poverty. Dies, often, for want of medicine that you or I could buy over a counter at any chemist.
Do tell everyone you can to watch the launch of “Click” tonight - it’s a really remarkable film. If you can’t get to a TV you will be able to see it here after 20.00. Please forward this mail on to a group of your friends, and ask them to join us at www.makepovertyhistory.org too.
Thanks for your support. Together we really can make poverty history.
Bob
