This photo was taken at a protest in London back in 2014. A whopping 90,000 people turned up to the TUC General Anti-Austerity and British Needs a Pay Rise march. And despite what the protest was actually about, this guy had other things on his mind. He was more concerned with the general way people were behaving in his country.
He’s seriously worried that there are no nice people around anymore. And regardless of where you live, sometimes it can feel that way, depending on the day. We’re sure, though, that his mind was changed when he walked around with like-minded people that day.
What a Reference
The whole point of protest signs is to get your point across as clearly and as emphatically as possible. But if you are beating around the bush and a little wishy-washy with your language, you are not going to make that much of an impact at the protest.
Instead, you could just make people laugh with a half-baked statement. Take this guy(not the policeman, though upon first glance, it does look like he is the one who is holding up the sign), for example: he made a reference to the British sitcom “Father Ted” at a protest in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Hair Enough
If there is one person who has had the most fun poked at him because of his hairstyle, then it has to be Donald Trump. The man who once inhabited the White House has always been recognizable due to his luscious, golden locks. Up until this very day, people have speculated whether his hair is natural, a toupee, a wig, hair implants, or something else entirely.
We might never have the answer to that debate. And regardless of how you feel about the man, this protest sign encapsulates perfectly one of the reasons that Trump puts smiles on so many people’s faces.
Careful Now
Protests are, as the name should tell you, a way for people to let their displeasure be known. Sometimes you just have to grab a sign and get the conversation going with a pithy saying. The person in this picture wants to let her displeasure be known.
However, this person has a personality that doesn't lend itself to big displays, so a little sign will have to do. Here's another protest classic that can show up at any kind of gathering you want to add yourself to. You can even use it to talk about the weather. In fact, that might be why this person is holding it.
A Real Sage
We’re not entirely sure what this dreadlocked lady was protesting about at this event. When you’re mentioning sage in your protest sign, it’s difficult to work out what all of the fuss is about. What we do know is that the protest took place in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 2020.
But seeing that she’s making a peace sign, we imagine that she is something of a pacifist and is against the concept of war. For safety reasons, we need to blur out one of the words in the sign. But you can imagine what the word was, and we think that’s good enough.
