Would you march for more affordable housing?

Would you be prepared to march through London to protest in favour of more affordable housing of the right types and in the right locations? Let’s say 6 weeks before the general election?

    Nope but I'd march in protest of my taxes being used to keep me priced out of a family home.

    I couldnt be bothered protesting for anything apart from civil war in this country.
    Nothing the ordinary people want or do ever makes an impact and so i shall selfishly look after myself only.
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Yes - with 3 adult children who have little chance of affordable housing I would march - Ordinary people can make a difference - remember the Poll Tax Marches.
    Make £2 a day challenge - doing well so far.

    I'd march for almost anything, I need the exercise.

    I'd nip out and protest for more social housing in a heartbeat. Just don't expect me to go far in 4 inch heels
    Retail is the only therapy that works

    I don't often laugh at loud at posts on here anymore, especially since mewbie went all moody and serious, but this really made me chuckle. I especially like the fact that you added a poll.

    I'm not the marching sort - and London's so far far away from most people.
