St Georges's Hospital Security Guards

Tooting, London. Thu 20 Feb 2020



Protesters dance past Edward Jenner who learned surgery and anatomy at St George's Hospital in 1770-3. The
hide of Blossom the cow is in the hospital museum. Jenner took pus from which a milkmaid who caught cowpox
from Blossom and used it to innoculate his gardener's son - and then showed he was immune to smallpox.

 

 Drillmaster, a drill music star who is standing for London Mayor came to support the protest

 

 

 

 

 One of the striming secuirty guards speaks

 

 

 

 Drillmaster gives his support

 

 

 

 Mildred speaks about their succesful campaign at the LSE to bring cleaners in-house

 Support for the UVW strikers from the IWGB

 and from the RMT, while a police officer tells the protesters this has to be the final speech

 

 

 The protesers are in jubilant mood as they leave to protest outside the building

 

and I say goodbye and try to get home - the journey takes me two hours longer than usual because
South West Trains have no proper contingency plans to deal with a fatal accident at Barnes, although
these incidents are unfortunately rather common and alternative routes exist which could avoid lengthy delays.
One of many reasons they deserve to lose the franchise.
