12 Days of Christmas -some of my favourite pictures from those I made in March 2025.
London, UK. 1 March 2025. Over 600 Southwark residents march from a rally in Peckham to Borough, outraged against plans by Berkeley Homes at the Aylesham Centre for only 12% of affordable housing – while Southwark has around 18,000 families on the council waiting list. London desperately needs more housing at social rents, not high market price housing for developer’s profits. More joined the march at Burgess Park. Peter Marshall.London, UK. 8 Mar 2025. Women, including many from migrant groups, marched along Oxford Street and on to a rally in Trafalgar Square for Million Women Rise, a woman-only march on International Women’s Day. Men supporters were only allowed on the pavement. The march called for an end to male violence against women and girls in all its forms and to everyday and structural racism at the heart of policing and our immigration system and society generally. Peter MarshallLondon, UK. 15 March 2025. Dr Hussam Abu Safiya & all Gaza healthcare workers. Many thousands including large numbers of Jews marched from Green Park to Whitehall days after Israel had blocked off all supplies of goods and electricity to Gaza in clearly genocidal acts violating international humanitarian laws and in breach of the ceasefire agreement they had made earlier. Protesters called for a permanent ceasefire now and for negotiations to lead to freedom for Palestine and to bring peace to the area. A small group waved Israeli flags, shouted abuse and made obscene gestures as they passed. Peter MarshallLondon, UK. 22 March 2025. Thousands came for a protest at the Israeli Embassy following the renewal of genocidal on Gaza in breach of international humanitarian laws. Police banned banned them protesting in the normal position moving them over a hundred yards away from the embassy. The demand an immediate ceasefire, for Israel to return to serious negotiations towards a lasting peace and an end to the total blockade which is starving the people of Gaza to death.

A peaceful and colourful street theatre demo by Scrap Factory Farming opposite Parliament called on the Labour government to start an immediate phase out of Factory Farming. They say it is wicked and inflicts great cruelty on animals we should work towards a world that is kinder to animals, people and planet. Peter MarshallLondon, UK. 26 Mar 2025. After protesting at Downing St disabled people and supporters marched to protest outside parliament against cuts in incapacity benefits and removing PIP payments from a million people. Some will lose as much as £10,000 a year as they will also lose carer’s allowance and their ability to contribute to society. Many will die from the cuts and they say there are simple ways to make the savings in a largely progressive way rather than severely punishing the disabled. Peter Marshall
