DEMOCRACY = DIVERSITY = DIVERSE CITIES
Let's outdo, trounce, trump, outclass, exceed, overwhelm, cream,transcend and wipe the floor with the concept of a colour-coded revolution by creating the MULTI-COLOURED REVOLUTION.
RAINBOW RE:EVOLUTION. POLYCHROME. VARICOLOURED. PARTICOLOURED. PIEBALD. CALICO. MOTLEY. HETEROGENEOUS. TECHNICOLOUR.
Wristbands, armbands, fluorescent glow sticks and luminescent badges, flags draped from windows, dyed hair, harlequin clothing crafted out of multi-coloured shreds and patches, chalked streets, mutli-coloured helium balloons, painted heads and painted faces, peace hachimakis, bracelets, street mosaics and cybermosaics, street carnivals and hats hats hats...all denote that we are fed up with the status quo and demand an immediate and peaceful democracy in Britain.
