Amid all the deeply serious developments in Cairo, there's something strangely heartening about seeing infographics used as a form of protest.
This placard appeared fleetingly on a Newsnight report the other night and I subsequently managed to find this picture via @glcarlstrom on Twitter. Another tweeter called @alaa provides a translation:
Civil disobedience -> Mubarak leaves -> No (loop back) / Yes -> Parliament dissolved -> Constitutional reform
From song lyrics to design business decisions, the flowchart has enjoyed a resurgence in recent years. This extension of the device is a sign of the good humour and decency of the enormous majority of the protesters, for whom the ‘yes’ branch of the flowchart is hopefully very nearly in sight.
