No to all this Jazz

This placard was made by Iain who carried it on the March for the Alternative demonstration held in London on 26 March 2011. The demonstration was organised by the Trade Union Congress as a protest at the government's public spending cuts and attracted around half a million marchers. The placard was made the night before the demonstration. Iain recalled:

'It took about half an hour. I photocopied my friend’s hands – blown up for comedy effect – and mounted everything on foam board to make it 3D. The wobbling jazz hands were attached using a spring coil from an A4 office notepad using superglue and masking tape. I found the stick lying in the road when I was walking home that night. It just happened to be the perfect length, width and colour.'
