    In February of this year, they laid 11,000 children’s outfits along three miles of Bournemouth beach, to represent the children killed in Gaza. “We wanted people to be able to feel what that many kids is like,” Sadri says. “1,000 kids, 10,000 kids, there’s absolutely no difference when you’re watching Channel 4 News. How do you turn that into something experiential?” What’s happening in Palestine is affecting how he sees everything,

    Salute to these guys. It is painful to read about all these children murdered by Israel.

    What they sometimes call an “accountability project”

    Lol. Are they going to hold this government to account over the next five years? I suspect not because that’s not what the people funding them want.

      I imagine they might… Who do you think the people funding them are?

      They’re extremely proud of small donations, but have capped larger ones at £1,250, not wanting to be beholden to anyone.

      I can understand scepticism, but given their coal protest against labour prime minister Tony Blair I feel whether they agree with the actions of the people in power are more important to them than the party political flavour.
