Forse and Oz, anti-war protest, Canberra, Australia, November 1971

Note the pre-printed sign. 

These days, the anti Trump and anti Elon signage (eg for demos like "Hands Off") is also pre-printed. Critics say that's because the demos are not organic, but are paid for. I thinks many are paid for. There's some pretty strong evidence for various left-wing, Soros-funded non-profits (The Tides Foundation) being behind the rash of anti-government demos. 

But having a pre-printed banner is not one of the proofs. After all, we did turn up to the demo above, organically, no-one paid us to come, or forced ust to come. But we went anyway and there was the pile of signs. We picked one up. 

Memories.
