Shopping in Kingston. Cold, rainy and miserable.
Then I saw this small group of lads - about 17ish - doing some public speaking guerilla stylee.
When I first passed, one of them was talking (with a mic) about the genius of Justin Beiber and the evils of listening to any kind of music that hadn't been approved by Radio 1 He was very, very funny.
Next another lad was talking about the dangers of drugs... unless they had been taxed, then they were fine.
Finally one of them started talking about the media, things like the Sun and the objectification of women! Ds needed to pee so had to hurry but really wanted to hang around and listen some more.
I was so impressed with their confidence and intelligence and felt so proud of these young kids who, as far as i could tell, for no other reason than feeling strongly about thigs, got out there and spoke their minds. And they did in a humorous, warm and charming way.
I was BEAMING!
So so happy that we have young people like this who arent fooled by the shit that surrounds us.
Their mums would ahve been dead proud. I know I was.
