Rabat protest 1

This has little (?) to do with the current protests/activity in Northern African nations these days... or maybe it does...

I was told by the students protesting that the protest is a weekly event that saw young graduates in coloured smocks (depending on which university faculty one graduated from) asking the government to support employment opportunities for young graduates. It was a mostly peaceful event... students disrupting traffic and being chased by groups of military men, with the occasional mild beating by the military.

The Blind Beggar

Peter Denton has added a photo to the pool: The Blind Beggar pub in the Whitechapel Road was built in 1898. In 1966 it became notorious when Ronnie Kray shot and killed George Cornell in the main bar. Kray and his twin brother Reggie were psychopathic East End gangsters and Cornell was part of the equally infamous Richardson Brothers gang. But this wasn't the first murder in The Blind Beggar. In 1904 a pickpocket and common criminal called Wallis stabbed another man in the eye with an umbrella. Today, the pub is visited by tourists from all over the world, and thrives on its past reputation. Its now a fully refurbished pub with a Victorian theme. Oh... one of the Groups I belong to is "Walk-By Shootings". Seems appropriate.
