And we are a protest, we will be noisy, a protest is about sound and vision.
That's Steve Bray.
If you've walked past Parliament in London, you may have seen or heard him before.
I was walking through central London the other day with a friend.
It was pouring with rain and I heard his voice.
My friend told me this guy's been stood outside Parliament every day since 2019.
It's just one man trying to make a change in the world and if you agree with him or not,
you have to recognise the persistence.
But it got me thinking.
It seems that every day there are news stories about different groups and communities protesting for change.
If you think about it, you have the doctors, nurses, train drivers, teachers,
people that deliver the post to the big ones, like stopping oil and climate change.
People are out there doing what they believe will affect change.
But where does change actually happen?
Who are they trying to convince, us the public, the media, or is it like Steve Bray,
who's literally standing outside in the rain, trying to talk directly to those in power?
Welcome to LSEIQ, the podcast where we ask social scientists and other experts to answer one intelligent question.
