English visionary William Blake knew 200 years ago that his people had been enslaved.

Torn from their traditional way of life in England’s green & pleasant land, they were forced to toil in dark satanic mills for the profit of rich parasites.

Is this a holy thing to see
In a rich and fruitful land,
Babes reduc’d to misery,
Fed with cold and usurous hand?

“Human Thought is crush’d beneath the iron hand of Power” warned Blake.

He urged us to cast off our "mind-forg’d manacles", resist the "cogs tyrannic" and create a free and fair society, "Jerusalem" in his own personal language.

Today, the powers of usury and exploitation want to crush ordinary people yet further into humiliating servitude.

They are even trying to claim our bodies, and our children's bodies, as their own.

Hundreds of thousands will be taking to the streets of London on Saturday May 29 to reclaim the freedom being stolen from us all by this loathsome band of lying criminals.

We would do well to remember Blake's famous words and be inspired by them!

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land
