Joey Taylor and James Wong-Sweeney are both 20 and from London.
Joey: We’re here because there’s a big protest going on and having more bodies up here raises awareness. More aware people means more people on the ground; more people on the ground means more people are aware.
Hopefully it will put pressure on the government and gets things done. Even if it doesn’t, this will expand the movement to the point that in future we will have the capacity to get things done.
James: We are here because we have to show the G8 leaders who's boss. It’s not them, it’s us, the people. They’re not listening yet, but they will on Wednesday because we’ll be knocking down their doors."
