12 Days of Christmas -some of my favourite pictures from those I made in June 2025.
London, UK. 4 June 2025. Campaigners form a red line for Palestine around Parliament across both bridges and on both sides of the river during Prime Minister’s Questions to demand the government imposes a full arms embargo and sanctions on Israel immediately. Palestinians are starving and Israel has opened fire on people queueing for the very limited food being left for them by the GHF food aid system which Israel is using as a weapon. Peter MarshallLondon, UK. Billionaires Kill. Several thousand march from the BBC to Whitehall against the government spending more on arms while cutting public services, the NHS and benefits for the disabled – they say is a blueprint for arms manufacturers to print money based on a false narrative. They demand Welfare not Warfare and call for taxes on the rich, cutting down tax avoidance and evasion and an end to cuts. Peter MarshallLondon, UK. 14 June 2025. Hundreds of cyclists rode through London in various states of undress, “as bare as you dare” to raise awareness of issues such as safety of cyclists on the road, reducing oil dependence and saving the planet. The annual London naked ride is one of many in cities around the world and provokes a great deal of interest and hilarity in those, mainly tourists, on the streets of the city. Peter Marshall.London, UK. 14 June 2025. Americans in the UK at the US Embassy in Nine Elms take part in the second Global Day of action by Democrats against Trump at over 1400 locations across the USA and worldwide. They came to show their opposition to Trump-era ineptitude and begin to rebuild American democracy on the day that Trump has organised a four-mile military parade in Washington, D.C. to honour himself. Peter Marshall.London, UK. 21 June 2025. Starmer – what a joke. Many thousands including many Jews march to Whitehall calling an end to the war crime of deliberate starvation of Palestinians in Gaza and demanding a ceasefire there and in the war against Iran. The want action to end the genocide and murder of children. They demand the UK ends all arms sales to Israel and call for a ceasefire and negotiations on both Palestine and Iran with the release of all hostages and prisoners. Peter Marshall.London, UK, 28 June 2025. People march from Islington Green to a rally at Highbury Fields to demand Barclays end funding which supports Israeli genocide in Gaza and continuing apartheid in Palestine as well as environmental destruction by fossil fuel use. Barclays underwrites Israeli ‘was bonds’ and provides billions to support illegal settlements and arms sales to Israel, Palestine Solidarity Campaign was joined by others including CAAT, London Mining Network. Peter Marshall.London, UK. 28 June 2025. Unite Against Fascism held a rally in Whitehall against the cynical attempt by the far right Football Lads Alliance to spread racism and bigotry on the streets of London by a march and rally “against grooming gangs, knife crime and the sexualisation of children” despite many on the far right having been convicted as sex offenders against children. Police kept the two rallies several hundred yards apart. Peter Marshall.
