  • What the media never said was that the police made the first move to attack the protesters, it was retaliation not hooliganism

  • I remember ths day. It began with a carnival atmophere, there was ABSOLUTELY no violent intent amongst th DEMONSTRATORS, BUT, we got hemmed in. Cops tunneled 6 lanes of PROTESTERS in2 jus 2 LANES. I asked a cop why 4extra lanes were cordoned off & he said "emergency services", really they used them to gallop the horses up & down til they passd by th uncordoned protestors, by that time th horses were galloping by us up&down for no reason, WE WERE SHITTING IT !!! it was fucking scary

  • plus even tho th cops were galloping up & down past us, we had nowhere to go by this time, & we were being jostled into each other, & into the path of the barricades of police lines, who were ADVANCING ON US, with mounted horses at the side of us, NO FUCKING WONDER ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE, I will state this as FACT cos I watched this happen b4 my eyes, WHILE we were attempting to PEACEFULLY PROTEST.

    THE COPS ORCHESTRATED THE VIOLENCE & PUSHED THE PROTESTERS TO THEIR LIMIT. ALL DAY THEY GOT MORE &

  • MORE AGGRESSIVE til thngs jus exploded.

    I ws fuckin lucky I nevr got battond, trampld or mowd down tht day cos I cld hav quite easily hav gottn caught up in2 it. Fortunately for me I had no means 2return home that day othr than 2go bak with th group I came down with & they went back b4 dark. If I ws supposd 2b "crashing" in london that day, i probably would've got caught up in th madness that followed.

    THIS EVENT WAS NOT A PUBLIC RIOT IT WAS A TOPDOWN AFFAIR

    eyeWitness accnt !!!

  • The only thing worse than the pigs are the posh thugs who think that there's nothing wrong with the world as long as they have their money and their flashy cars and enough scratch go out on a Saturday night. Fuck them, I have no sympathy for the cunts who got interrupted at their dinners.

  • @SkunkyAngry You were probably still at school when this went down. Go and learn about it from a history book.

  • @fuktheusa

    Sorry. My history book doesn't cover conspiracy theories.

  • This was the start of the Polish invasion..They caused it all...

  • Was there and the police were after a scrap, before during and after. Saw plain clothes police jumping out of unmarked vans, running up and down Tottinham Ct Rd beating anyone they didn't like the look of. This was for years of crap we had been given, the poll tax was the final straw and they got ten years of anger

  • Thatcher HAD to go after this and the whole govt knew she was a liability. She had gone 'unsound' in office and as is with psychosis, was the only one who thought she hadn't gone mad. She was displaying arrogance at delusions of grandeur level by then

  • hahahahah 5:14 renault 5 happy days

  • 4:41 - 4:44 thug gets OWNED. That's what the police should've done to the rioters last week. Fuck the "human rights" movement, it's nothing more than a lefty attempt to have thugs run wild without being properly punished.

  • @ailingequation so are people who vote conservative because the zionists infiltrate either side of a parliament. cameron is a self proclaimed zionist and the miliband brothers both hold israeli passports.

  • The pig car window at 4:07 - FUCK YEAH!

  • only people that vote conservative are stupid

  • History WILL repeat itself.

    It isn't that we 'The mob' are unreasonable.It is just that we continually have to fight back against constant unfairness and government tyranny.

    It is the MORONS in power who NEVER learn and while they continue to treat us badly,people are entitled to protest and take the law into their OWN HANDS.

    Seeing as though our corrupt and stupid government break our laws all the time ignore our statutes and it's electorate it takes US to remind them of right and wrong?

  • NWO Scum

  • Get of your arse Britain....Or be pushed around till you DIE,,,

  • the one dislike is obviously david cameron

  • The police were ordered to start a riot. They did it on purpose to discredit anyone against the poll tax. I've got no sympathy for those bastards. Cunts, every last one of them.

  • @fuktheusa bet you'd call them though if someone tried to break into your home?

  • @fuktheusa

    Dumb ass conspiracy theorist.

  • Lesson learnt: NEVER vote for the Torys

  • @granger1995 Come ahead, wee man.

  • At least the police have the right idea about how to deal with these people, unlike they had with the one's in Trafalgar on Saturday!

  • @Sbhedges Yeah but we won. There was no Poll Tax

  • @jackwilshiresfakeid What do you think council tax is ?

    

  • @Comet12421 A compromise - they're not one and the same

  • Its always the same during these demonstrations: "Fuck the pigs, fuck the system, fuck the government" yelled as shops are looted, cars burnt and anarchy prevails. Yet the INSTANT you're nabbed for acting like an animal, its a VERY different song you sing: "Oh my god! Police brutality! What about my human rights? What about the law?"

    There's zero thought for the working man whos shop is looted, whos car is wrecked or the tax-payers money wasted cleaning the mess up afterwards.

  • Yesterday has nothing on this lol but I think we might just see these scenes again soon.

  • Nice to see the police doing their job properly. We need to bring this standard of law enforcement back.

    No, I'm not rich, not a tory etc. Just a working man who keeps his nose clean.

  • @Bhurzum And laps up all the Daily Mail tells you?

  • @RobDeManc Would it make you feel any better if I lied and said "yes" to that? The simple fact remains, this is an excellent example of what we need on the streets of the UK today.

  • "It was like a revolution!"...ha ha 4 days till the next one comrades,bring it on!!

  • 2:35 Fucking Hilarious! " I believe I got kicked to the face"? I think you were mate! At least you police scum,can retire on health grounds-"post traumatic shock" etc. on a nice fat pension!? Unlike the dozen or so women +innocents I witnessed get battered by the riot + mounted police? I was there,and it was a nice day out in the end! Haha

  • see this is the thing with britain, its no longer our britain its the britian of those whoa re in power, we as the citezens of britan have no rights and no say about our contrey, we get a few different partys to vote for who betray the same message, the police are no longer protectors of the people they are protectors of the broken syestem. they deffend the goverment agenst there problems, theres a reason why people are protesting as its not what they want for britian. britain is mwnt to be free

  • See the biased reporting has changed in 20 years.

    Let's do it again and show the Torys we won't take their crap!

    TO THE STREETS!

  • @RedPanther59 Oh grow up and act your age not your shoe size. You pathetic excuse for an oxygen thief! We the majority are heartily sick of puerile inbred fools like you. Get a job courtney and fuck off¬!

  • You do not know how much I want to smash all of the left wing hippies faces in with my foot. This was not a protest it was yet another left wing excuse to loot, ruin & destroy and that reminds me of the left wing manifesto

  • just another Saturday night in London :D

  • 2:42 "got hit on the head by a the police truncheon", just like the riots today blame blame blame the police, they got attacked aswell its just ashame they dont beat the students up today

  • I think the whole system needs to be brought to its knees, we pride ourselves on being a democracy, yet we stand in awe as those we vote into power blatantly lie to us. We need to march on the government until it drops beneath our feet. If we stop now, the government will get away with killing any hope we the workers have of a decent life for our kids. If a few police get knocked over in the process, so be it, they either stand by the people or they move aside. This is our country, not theirs

  • @binkiie4dictator I'm not British but I understand your sentiment. Police forces worldwide have but one purpose, to protect the powerful, and their possessions from the justified anger of the dispossessed and the powerless. Anybody who tells you otherwise is either one of the powerful (or their serf/agent), or is asleep. Black and Red.

  • fucking coppers why cant you get out of our way?

  • we're gna have to do this again, before our right to protest will be taken from us

  • funniest scene ever at 8:00

  • 5:43...Good

  • We don't want this to happen again, please stop the voilence. The Tea Party wasn't violent and look at the effect. Peace is more powerfull.

  • @LoveSenseDimension Bullshit. The American revolution was far from peacefull. There is no such thing as a peacefull revolution when all your democratic options are corrupt and working to the same agenda. Viva Revolution

  • @antz1916

    The Glorious Revolution was largely peaceful and it led to the introduction of an English Bill of Rights and the curbing of the Monarchs powers forever onwards. Most of the ideals of the American and French Revolutions actually stem from the Glorious Revolution and English Bill of Rights.

  • lets do it all again fuck the pigs fuck the tories lets burn them down for good this time THE WRITTING IS ON THE WALL WE WANT TO RIOT AND BRING DOWN THE TORY SCUM

  • I still call this a police riot - they were out of control and they started the whole thing at south africa house driving cars at us. they hemmed us in in front of the portrait gallery and sent horses into us so no wonder the looting afterwards at the west end. same tactics today- start a riot and the filth media will misrepresent it

  • Fucking photographers are like rats....

  • The bloke at the end saying 'this is just like a revolution' clearly saw how close it came to becoming one. Have the Tories learned anything? Well, they did, short-term, it scared the crap out of them and their megarich backers. But now it looks like they want some more.

  • 2.36 "you believe you got kicked in the face whilst in a stooped position"???????

    Haahaa Yessiree Bob! Id say ya were!

    After seeing 2 women batoned on the top of their heads for "pushing a child in a push-chair in an intimidating fashion"- I`d say.... some ya win some ya lose!?

    After all,most of what I saw,on the day, and what ya see in the video.... A lot of "grungies" holding bits of wood in their hands waving `m about-Lots of police charging "grungies" +hitting `em???

  • why can the police shoot them?

  • This is the sort of thing we want to create now with the Con-Dem coalition cuts to our public sector. The poll tax riots prevented the Poll tax we can prevent the cuts to education and the public sector.

  • the cuts are back.... and soon there will be more than just student rioting

  • That old American couple around 8:00, put a smile on my face they seem like a decent pair.

  • england has now turned into america and beleive every thing the papers tell them .we have lost our working rights along with our bottle too fight back against the rich , who own us . viva le france ,they have got the bottle. i do know that not all english are like this ,but 95 percent are. theother 5 percent we are classed as holding england to ransom . the working class will never learn untill its too late.

  • "They just started hitting me!" haha - stand in trafalgar square on that day, Get walloped. Simple Fact!

  • Looking back at this after the anti-capitalist riots that rocked central London in the late 1990s and early 2000s and the serious football riots in central London at Euro 96 etc this looks pretty tame. The only surprising thing about it is that this event police stupidly pushed most people north into the west end when they cleared the square resulting in the west end getting ransacked. At the 1997 Liverpool dockers demo riot there they wisely pushed everyone down to the embankment instead.

  • @BurntOakTree

    lol trust me, the poll-tax riots were not 'tame'. I don't recall buildings being burnt or police hit with metal bars, or police car windows smashed, etc in the later protests/riots.

  • @PersianPaladin I was on the anti-poll tax demonstration in 1990 in Trafalgar Square and I would say it was not as bad as later London riots. The police even admitted that the riot a few weeks later in Bournemouth by hundreds of Leeds fans was worse. Police hit with iron bars? No they were they were hit with bits of wood! The car window you see smashed was smashed with a plackard stick that came out at the trial. The vast majority of the 40,000 strong crowd that day was peaceful.

  • fight the power the brits have the balls to do this why not america

  • @darthclash122

    They had it 20 years ago - now they are fat pussies like americans.

  • I have zero respect for the Met.  Pigs got battered, deserverably so.

  • ABOUT TIME WE DO IT AGAIN

    BUT CAUSE A LOT MORE

    DAMAGE AND A LOT MORE PAIN.

    ANARCHY NOT ANNUNAKI.

  • The youth of today have not got the balls to carry out this type of action again they live for xfactor and bb they are lazy and all want to be plastic gansters

    I'm looking forward to the goverment cuts and the public disorder that will follow we need to take the power back for the people

  • more to come under this tory lot, lets hope the youth of today can stop watching the x factor and have the balls to do something about it.. . . the wanna be generation. fed bulli=shit and fighting each others postcode instead of the real enemy

  • "And the violence goes on" quote, at 5.26 it then shows a copper giving some one a clump ,this is coming again ,the banks are scum but we get the grief and the poverty well bollocks to that, if there is enough to bail out the banks and enough to fund the war, there is enough that our jobs and lives dont get thrown down the pan ,how dare they blame and hold us to ransom for their thieving and misplaced deals ,up to £95 billion goes every year in tax aviodance in the uk ,lets start their .

  • I was there as a 14 year old boy. As soon as the cavalry started charging. A police officer grabbed and pulled me to safety. I will never ever forget that day. :)

  • looking 4ward to it happening all over again, simply because the idiots voted the tories in again

  • @spagsylee tories or labour mate, it makes no difference, they are different masks on the same face.

  • @spagsylee this saturday :O)

  • @spagsylee We don't want socialist scum running the country anymore.

  • @spagsylee We don't want socialists sc#m running the country anymore.

  • @spagsylee

    So you're gonna go on rampage every time the elections don't go your way, you anti-democratic prick?

  • There'll be more of this in the not too distant future with a Conservative government that's set to continue where Thatcher left off.

    Grim times ahead.

  • @raphaelnik

    I read about Camerons plans and i wonder why thre is nobody on the street tonight. British like to riot after football games but that seems to be highest emotion they can get.

  • @llothar68 because my freind they are to fucking stupid to realise what i going on .to most the word of the papers is the word of god .sheep ,and we know what happens to them.

  • @erictheviking871 They get f*cked by the welsh? (the sheep that is)????

  • @llothar68 sad but true.Just look what has gone on on the streets of Athens or Paris - it won't be replicated here in the U.K.Time will tell if I'm proved wrong of course.

  • @revol148 you will be proved wrong. us students are just the start

  • @abSURDub well you might be right there - in the time since I wrote that comment there have been two student demonstations already! Keep it up

  • awesome

  • The Copper at 2:32 '....as i was in a stooped position I believe I got kicked in the face' yeah you're not wrong mate.

  • Who thinks demonstrators should bring pikes with them?

    That will sort those mounted pigs out proper.

    If police are going to be armed and attack innocent people, then the innocent people have a right to arm themselves and retaliate against this abuse of power.

    The police are supposed to serve and protect and if they are not going to obide by the law, why should the protestors?

  • @sinwow33 Actually I think the only reason nobody attacked the mounted police is that they didnt want to hurt the horses.

    Really though , this is tory Britain , who the hell voted them in again ? Totally unbelievable.

  • The Horses are the best in riots... they should have got more out they clear areas so well..

  • wow thanks for adding this. I was there and god... What a day for the british people. The police were so violent and as for the press. Up yours! I would love to see moe footage of that day. anyone know were I can get raw rushes/material

  • People had every right to riot! Disgraceful tax. Remember all this when I was 12 years old! Happy days!

  • that guy put a bar though that coppers window nice one mate :)

  • Revolution

  • yeah..was at that guitar shop!! Some of that day was fucking great!

  • 1:00 the mohawk girl whacking a copper, beutiful!
