The protester's dilemma

Protester Simon Murray is one of our G8 guest bloggers

I'm heading up to Edinburgh today. I've got quite a lot to carry so I'll be getting a lift to the minibus - in a car. This is a bad start to protesting against issues such as climate change I know. Packing too much is also a bad start, but what do you wear to help facilitate the end of capitalism?

The problem I have is that I'm a relatively new convert to the cause. Having once worked in the materialistic and parasitic ad industry I'm attending the G8 protests as part of my re-education and an ongoing attempt to buy back my soul. Unfortunately my wardrobe is not yet sweatshop free and my Nikes are quite comfortable.
