The gig we got conned into yesterday was something calling itself Life Parade, basically a crackpot collective from the fascist-left fringe. As is usual in such cases, public numbers were significantly lower than those of the state-financed sponsoring entities which, for some reason, people refer to as non-governmental organisations. There was the usual hysterical anti-employment demagoguery (Bolkestein, spelt of course with a Waffen “SS”) as well as the plain lunatic (t-shirts sloganned with “I don’t believe in the AIDS virus”), but the most bizarre aspect for me was that the mini-mob made grateful use of the Forum site, which, two years ago, they told us was symbolic of the evils of open-door capitalism.
