London Green councillors encourage people inspired by the protests in France to join demonstration
And on Sunday, the Hackney Greens shared an image urging those "inspired" by French chaos to join a march against austerity held the day before the Budget.
Florence Schechter, the cabinet member for finance, resident services and digital, promoted the "March against Austerity", to be held in central London, on her social media...
She said: "To speak to people who are inspired by protests is not an endorsement of violence...
"Austerity is not just a topic: people are dying as a result of governments' decisions to cut spending and make our communities pay their debts, in France and here in the UK.
The professor remained looking at his wife with an air of stupefaction, as if she had opened up to him visions of imbecility of which he had not even dreamed.

Dear Florence, can you lend me £10k?
I won't pay it back as that would be austerity, which is a really evil thing.
Mike - good question, Florence would probably lend you sympathy instead, unless of course you are a healthy straight white male.
Is there a definition of austerity - or is it one of those vague terms manipulated for political purposes?
DJ - very vague I reckon, hard to define but it seems to be shorthand for a claim that the Magic Money Tree isn't being shaken hard enough.
I wonder where this green lady lives ? It might be interesting to see her reaction if the encouraged proletariat chose to kick off outside her front door.
John - it would focus her attention on her own words wouldn't it?
