This week our social media feeds were filled with inspiring posts from the weekend’s Women’s March. The seed was originally planted in Washington in response to Trump becoming president and cities all over the world joined forces to hold sister marches, including a small group on a research trip in Antarctica. Also this week, while on the promo trail for the Trainspotting sequel, Ewan McGregor took to Twitter to explain the reasoning for his no-show at Good Morning Britain. The Scottish actor posted, “Was going on Good Morning Britain, didn’t realise @piersmorgan was host. Won’t go on with him after his comments about #WomensMarch”. This was in response to Morgan, in his usual controversial and provoking manner, having posted, “I’m planning a men’s march to protest at the creeping global emasculation of my gender by rabid feminists. Who’s with me?”. Good on you Ewan!

Back to something positive, here’s the Independent’s round-up of some of the great banners from the marches.

Earlier this month social media went crazy over a restaurant owner from Turkey after he was videoed chopping up meat and seasoning it in a very enthusiastic way. Nusret Gökçe’s signature move is sprinkling salt from the tips of his fingers along his elbow and into the pot. He has since become an internet phenomenon known as ‘Salt Bae’ with a host of memes surfacing across social media and celebrities wearing t-shirts with his now famous pose on them. This week, Twitter users in the capital had a virtual jump for joy after Salt Bae announced that he would be opening a branch of his restaurant in London within the next few months. We are looking forward to seeing Salt Bae and his signature move in action, watch this space…
