Save Lewisham hospital march
I marched yesterday with around 15,000 others to tell Matthew Kershaw exactly what I think of his plans to destroy Lewisham hospital by taking away its A&E and maternity services. These are the pictures I took on the march and at the rally in Ladywell Fields afterwards.

Whatever the exact number, for an event organised at short notice and based on a single borough, this was a very large demonstration. But that’s just a quantitative measure
The really significant point is the QUALITY of the demonstration.
a) The overwhelming majority of those involved were ordinary, local people.
b) Compared with most demonstrations we were highly organised. Because we were demonstrating near a hospital it was vital that we didn’t disrupt access for patients, visitors and, not least, ambulances. Yes there was a lot of spontaneity, but we had thousands of people walking round through narrow pedestrian passages and along the pavement in front of the Hospital to complete a moving circle.
We are organised and we are not going to melt away like the anti-war movement did after the ‘million-strong march’ of 2003.
