Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I've been to a few, I think some of my favourite placards/signs were: Make Badges not War (on badges, obviously)!. Make Love not Badges (when the badgemakers got bored ;) )!. Amnesty/Oxfam (I don't remember which, it was a few years ago now) made cardboard cutouts of AK47s to protest about the arms trade - you had to sign it and send it in to Downing Street!. One May Day there was a sign in a shop/cafe that said: "Please don't smash our windows", then had two arrows drawn underneath, one saying "Starbucks" and one "McDonalds"!. I liked their initiative!. I would try looking at Indymedia to find good pictures of protests all over the world (see link below)!. Hope that helps :)Www@QuestionHome@Com I was at the "poll tax riots" in 1990 what a great day that was!. I did have a placard given to me by the civil service union but I cant remember what was written on it something about the poll tax and Maggie Thatcher I thinkWww@QuestionHome@Com about 3 anti road protests, may day in london, anti criminal justice act/bill in london, probable 1 or 2 others i cant remember!!!!.!.!.!.they're a good laugh!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Demon!.!.!. monstration!?
