Indigo JonesToday22:16 BSTJeremy Corbyn joined protesters in CardiffAs Storm Boelo led to transport disruption and the cancellation of events across the country, in one part of Cardiff a couple of hundred people were not deterred by wind and rain warnings. Instead people from various corners of Wales took to Central Square as part of a Stand Up To Racism protest.
Soggy protesters brought flags, sang chants, and listened to speeches from Jeremy Corbyn and Leanne Wood in a show of solidarity with people experiencing racism, Islamophobia, and with the people of Palestine.
Many protesters were particularly inspired to come out in the rain and wind after Reform UK called for a ban on Muslim face coverings in the Senedd earlier this week. On Wednesday, a motion put forward by Reform UK's Jason O'Connell called for coverings such as the Burqa to be banned with the party claiming they were "anti-British" and represented an "alien culture".
The motion led to angry exchanges between politicians in the Senedd and was on the forefront of many people's minds outside Cardiff Central this Saturday (October 24).
Indigo JonesToday22:00 BSTRemember that the clocks go back this weekendThe clocks are set to 'fall back' in the UK on Sunday, marking the end of British Summer Time and giving everyone an extra hour in bed.
This weekend the clocks will "fall back" as they revert to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The Royal Museums Greenwich (RMG) explained: "On the last Sunday of October in the UK, the clocks go back by one hour.
"It may feel like a long time since the blue skies of summer, but the moment when the clocks go back marks the end of British Summer Time (BST). Good news: it also means an extra hour in bed.
"An easy way to remember which way the clocks change is to think of the seasons: in spring the clocks 'spring forward', while in autumn they 'fall back'."
It added: " The clocks will go back in the UK on Sunday, October 25, at 2am."
