Surprised that this slipped under my radar.
50,000 turned up to hear Brand say:The people of this building [the House of Commons] generally speaking do not represent us, they represent their friends in big business. It’s time for us to take back our power,” said Brand. “This will be a peaceful, effortless, joyful revolution and I’m very grateful to be involved in the People’s Assembly. Power isn’t there, it is here, within us,” he added. “The revolution that’s required isn’t a revolution of radical ideas, but the implementation of ideas we already have.”http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/jun/21/protest-march-austerity-london-russell-brand-peoples-assembly Any feedback from our members who attended?
