A day of BritMums protest

The BritMums parent blogging community is coming togther today for a day of protest about the situation in Syria. 

Spearheaded by Liz from A Mum Blog and Justine from The Potty Diaries, the idea is to use our collective voice to be heard and make a difference.

Liz writes, 

"As parents, it is impossible not to be affected by the reports of the full horror of the Houla massacre. This is from Wednesday's Times:

'The children of Houla were not killed by random shelling. The UN yesterday revealed that they were murdered one by one. The militia came in the night armed with knives and guns, and the young victims were executed with a bullet to the head or a knife to the throat.

One photograph shows a cherubic baby girl, no older than 2, with a tiny gold ear-stud. She is wrapped in a white shroud. Half her skull has been hacked or blown away. A saucer of bone juts from a bloody gash in what remains of her head. (The full article was in the The Times on Wednesday, when they took down the pay wall so everyone could read it)."
