Caged
Yesterday was interesting. I went to the Neath Carnival and ended up in a cage. It was all in a good cause. Amnesty International were highlighting the plight of prisoners of conscience all over the world and had arranged for a number of people to spend 15 minutes each in a wooden cage. Apparently, I was following in the footsteps of the likes of Peter Hain. Gwenda Thomas and Brian Gibbons who have all been 'prisoners' at past fairs. The cage was the coolest place on the field and I could easily have stayed there much longer than the designated 15 minutes.
