May Day Riots - London - 2002

[JordanEmonds]

The pig at 2:34 is funny, head moves with the music :')

[BurntOakTree]

THERE IS A MASS DEMONSTRATION AGAINST GOVERNMENT CUTS ON SATURDAY MARCH 26 IN CENTRAL LONDON CALLED BY THE TUC. ASSEMBLE 11AM ON THE EMBANKMENT NEAR TEMPLE TUBE.

GOOGLE: "MARCH FOR THE ALTERNATIVE" FOR FULL DETAILS.

[Draxindustries1]

Police should get the water cannon on the unwashed hippy types that always turn up for these riots. Airdrop a load of shower gel on them first, water cannon it all off and dry with a straffe from the police helicopter, then to finish off another blast from the cannon filled with deodorant. Would make the dole office a much more pleasant place...

[griffy1988]

2:15 nice boobies

[NewsEnterprise1]

This is what the media would describe as 'scuffles with police'

[rankinmania]

it was the police that turned it into a riot

[tSp289]

It's a shame that people who go on these marches for real, valid causes choose to dress up like, well... hippies, frankly. Not that I have a problem with hippies, but it gives the cameras something to point at, and then everyone else can go "oh, jsut a bunch of hippies. They're always upset about something"

People, dress for work next time you go on a march: if everyone did that they might actually get taken seriously without having to burn stuff.

[dim432]

SHOOT THE PROTESTERS

[thethomasshowextra]

Yes was definitely a riot i was there it was a class war mate the fact that we all came on the street to show our disatisfaction there was a lot of stuff not shown in this vid were the police attacked people to make them go home they proved that we are just slaaves of the state not democracy but 2 wolfs & a sheep deciding whats for dinner again maggie started the globalist elite takeover look at her son who was arrested for starting a coo in a foreign land says it all dont it :(

[xraymutation]

u dick advertising on it. i am getting sick

[Gnottason]

I bet half these people voted for the Labour party that has all but banned protests in London.

[cheyennebritbrat]

it maybe a piss poor riot but a least some people got off their asses instead of sittin behind a p.c and moanin

[annafites]

thats a piss poor riot yu should be ashamed of yourselves

[xxxKINGFROGxxx]

@annafites may 1st 2010, come along and contribute some "positive vibrations" haha.

[PersianPaladin]

Thats not a riot, its a carnival.

Google "1990 poll tax riots". THAT is a riot.

[JimOnei]

Check out the Brixton riot, 1981. That was a war!

[thethomasshowextra]

@PersianPaladin it was a war between the state and the people i know i w3as there but dont tell anyone the state will get me lol i'm scare of the them to this very day all over the world the people never get to make any choices on how there so called democracies are designed wake up and smell the coffee its always been the state against the people not for them lol.

[MetusModus]

@PersianPaladin Just about to type that. This is NOT a riot Brixton 81, bogside 69, miners in 84 and the big one 1990 poll tax!

[spacerach1222]

Russell Brand was in that riot...its in his book.

[bellagiofalls]

These are the worst kind of specimen! They bite the had that feeds them, bet there all on state benefits and complain 'about the man'!

I'm all for peaceful hippies though!!!

[santan25]

[moshabee]

1 april 2009

central london

[alsum501]

When are this years riots taking place and where? I see you'v wrote down 1st of April, but isn't may day on the 4th?

I'v been looking everywhere on the net to find out whats happening but can't find nothing

[tommyDstring]

hippies are the worst rioters ever

[jimmyteluga]

whats with all the gay people and fattys...thought this was a riot video!

[cveitch]

Great video - Power to the People

Anarchy = No Gods, No Masters, Freedom!

[london2bologna]

fucking police lover

[tommyDstring]

its england...no guns

[hack5678]

yet gun crime is on the rise

[fremlinskent]

Cos now guns are illegal, only the criminals have guns! What a surprise.

[mayjdm]

hehe and the Government fremlinskent

[fremlinskent]

I meant what I wrote!

[Azog150]

"yet gun crime is on the rise "

No its not, if anything its on the decrease. Its just that the media have been making a bigger fuss over it recently.

[patlfdunn101]

Watching those fat beasts dance in bikinis has put me off life. Good on the MET for kicking ass.

[brandthedog]

Yeah! Fuck everyone that expresses an opinion that can't be found in the mainstream press! SMASH THEIR SKULLS!

[mrgoonermate]

just a bunch of people complaining...again

[drcarnage83]

and you'll be complaining when you are stopped on the street and arrested for not having an ID card with you.

[mrgoonermate]

what a day off work? complain??? not likely

[MarxBakuninMe]

I've nothing against giving the establishment a good kick in the balls, but these middle-class "revolutionaries" piss me off. We need another Poll Tax thingy, not this pissy shite.

[buddamarsden]

what were these riots about?

[AncientMonarch]

Stupid fucking marxists rioting again. They should be shot. Traitors.

[GoldenLegends]

Well said my friend! Couldn't agree more.

[keeperofthecheese]

May day is a celebration day for the labourers (workers) of any given country. In some countries (especially UK, USA, and Germany) May day celebrations have also been the stage for mass demonstration. These demos usually go by peacefully, but sometimes end up in mass rioting and destruction. Lots of people get blamed. The police. The "marxists". But its usually just people venting rage against their chosen subject.

[GoldenLegends]

The Mayday protests are caused by a collection of poor people who hate the fact that some people are better off than them. Most of the protesters are on the dole and under 30 years of age.

[mellowNdark]

Brilliant seeing those hunters get a good kicking. Now they know how the fox feels. Makes you proud to be British!!

[Georgiahulse]

I've heard people saying "oh this is terrible; it's the breakdown of society as we know it". Well I say rubbish, this is weak compared to the riots England used to have. At one point in our history, if you weren't happy with something, you'd get together a people's army and make your demands to the king. If he listened (rarely) you'd be alright, if not, you fought Royal forces on the battlefield.

[napster745]

hmmmm how old r u?

[Georgiahulse]

Never ask a lady her age! Still, I've gleefully put the year I was born on my channel - I was born in July 1979, so work it out.

I'm not old enough to remember the riots of the Tudor times though if that's what you mean! The riots I'm talking about took place centuries ago - my history lecturer from when I was at Uni would know though; he's been around since the dawn of time.

[KingMikeIV]

missed a bit out BELOW, People can protest but the government wont take notice

[Georgiahulse]

Unless we force them to!

[KingMikeIV]

by all means demonstrate your opinion, but what people dont understand is that they break the law and wonder why the police respond the way they do. you get all this Fuck the police attitude, The police are the finest dam thing in the UK, what people dont realise too is that there protests make a difference, sure you can protest but at the end of the day like they care, and when people act like tossers and law breaks down, the police come in to restore order,

[vilhelm999]

Well said mate

[1V4Victory1]

kill the hippys!

[eamanevers1]

cool

[samsung1x111111x]

silly little renta mob they have no conviction at all. idiots

[hamster700]

that was good thanks for briging back happi memories

[willz87child]

may day riot are all about Anti-capitalism, i.e America, but what i want to know is how did these "protestors" get into London, did they walk? as they dont want to fund a "pro-capitalism" government, no. i suggest these rent-a-mobs get back to what they do best, tend to their allotments and save taxpayers money instead of rioting!

[tuscanyiscol]

that made sense good

[NaziRaverPiIIz]

The last May Day riots gave the world a very interesting picture: it showed an Anti Capitalist rioter putting his foot the window of a McDonalds restaurant.......whilst wearing a pair of Nike trainers

[007bondspy]

My oh my i read black people can eat raw dogshit easily without being sick or ill utterly amazing eh.

[willz87child]

really? thats a talent!

[tuscanyiscol]

Really? Raw dogshit? As opposed to the well-cooked version i suppose you enjoy.

[wiganjoe]

what are they :rioting ; about ? seems like they need some fkn work nobs

[tuscanyiscol]

Great idea. Work knobs sound like excellent fun, where can i get one of these fkn work knobs?

[wiggymole01]

smi88y - you're first up against the wall when the time comes, believe me it will.smash up everything!!!!!!!!!!!

[69BluntObjectS]

one day these events will be planned and they will be organised, then we will have a fuckin riot, then they will listen. And I will be there...

[chloe20UK]

me too!!!

[bohemiastudios]

Yes and me as well

[smi88y]

release the hounds on the feral scroungers!more work in a sick note.tell em the fairies dont pick up the tab to fund em!!!"

[KafkaCrow]

The British working class are a bunch of ass-holes, just like the ruling class. Just look at the comments on this video if you don't believe me. The world is fucked - deal with it.

[geckoremmington]

Thanks for your ever inspiring support kafka (that was sarcasm in case you're american as it doesn't tend to translate)

The most important thing to notice in this video is that it is the working class squabbling amongst themselves. Cops vs Robbers. Blackbirds vs Crows. While the ruling class sits back and laughs. For a successful demo it must be taken to the highest authority. In our country The Crown (the rothschilds banking dynasty)

and in the US's case the CFR and Federal Reserve

[Buggsy61]

These people are clueless cunts of the highest order. They hate capitalism because they are basically lazy, inadequate, useless wankers who are incapable of making their own way in the world.

Thought the coppers were very restrained and would have been better employed opening fire with live rounds and dropping some of these cunts - save on dole and housing benefit :)

[ponyplayallday]

They all eat Mcdonalds anyway, i have seen them in the middle of a protest munching away on a big mac

[xgreenymeex]

I like the background music :) whats the name of the song?

[Motownisyourtown]

There were hardly any riots in 2002 twat.

[Idid911]

I was there, throwing bricks at coppers. I love causivg trouble and I guarantee I've got more money than all you cunts put together.

[circesprophecy]

Neither means jack shit. I probably (most likely) got more money then you friend and i think everything in this video is disgusting, anarchy...pah it's just an excuse to go on the streets and pretend your hard. Realised how this hasn't happened in the last 3 years? It's a pile of shit mate, your the joke who gets arrested, if not on the day later on when the police look at the video.

[Idid911]

I'm not your friend, so you can dispense with that sort sort of language. A 20 year old Geordie with money? Sure, that's believable. What are you doing? Pimping out your hairy legged mam for gob-jobs.

[christopherdell]

lol, It brings a wry smile seeing police have a cracking day. A bunch of wayward students looking for a meaning to their debt ridden crap hole ofa life. I over heard some next day talking in Mcdonalds. They stand for nothing and its good to see them taking a hiding, notice they never go to moscow, thats small fry in comparison when england played in October. I'm more of a right winger than david beckham

[banzaiian]

there are a couple of times a year i dont think the cops are bastards and actually wish i could be a cop for a day..

[R4pt0r91]

screw those damn commies... it has been proved that it doesn't work and all that it brings is suffering to the people...

[NickTheBubbl]

since when has fat chicks dancing made a difference to UK politics?

[RagmanLFC]

work shy fukin tree huggin cunts, we battered some hippies that day who where trying to smash up a shop, battered em good.

Get a job, and a wash u trampish cunts

England and violence, together forevever

[shorttallperson]

Hooray for the Police!

Those damn hippies don't even know how lucky they are arrest the bloody lot of them!

[Lobz12]

haha you know lol

[ghost271]

the UK is the most likely place for a revolution ! The world bank is ready to collapse ! The end of capitalism is near ! Onwards with socialism !

Power to the people !

[red456x]

heh heh. what a bunch of twats. they smashed a few windows of "John Lewis"... but John Lewis is a trust, owned by the workers.

i also recall Burger King didn't bother to board up and close. good call, because all these "anti-capitalists" worked up quite a hunger and were all busy queueing up for fries 'n whoppers later on.

[TrystanCJ]

How many times has the word 'hippy' been used already? LOL, right wing cunts.

[DavidTL]

I'm sick of seeing them Socialist Workers people in Nottingham; here every week they are. Nobody tends to take any notice of them really.

[lajopi292]

01:52-Whats that smell? Jobless unwashed hippies with nothing better to do. Good vid tho, like the pacing and editing.

[bohemiastudios]

Cant find the bit where, the police beat up the 'Wombles' those blokes in the white jump suits. No enough cameras at the nasty bit.

If the police, get heavy, so do all those, so called [hippies], who says they dont have jobs? Take a cool, clear documentary look, at what our government do. Dont let them fool you! The police dont even have to say why they arrest, people.

[ilovebumfun]

get a job and a wash

[marchonus]

the problem is, the working class assume they are the most important...shouldn't the cleverest people in society be the most powerful? the body can survive without limbs, but without the brain you're a deadman. the case of the rich is that they are not always the cleverest: (you have to be a bit brain dead not to see that pouring money into a growth-based capitalistic society is DESTROYING THE PLANET) fuckheads

[anarchypig]

not everybody who is clever is put into welth or power alot are smart and beated down and people forget its a power tryangle without the lower classes therere is no tryangle of power the founderies break the rest falls.

[rangeo88]

I don't all the stupid big hair and bear chested retarded drumming they like doing on the first of may in london and other western european capitals. Look at how the Turks riot on the first of may!!

[stretty234]

Fair doos to the ones who are peacefully protesting & having a carnival type atmospehere...but as for the hippy jobless cunts that have nothing better to do & think protesting is causing violence - i think the police should just be able to shoot em & have done with it!

[Correctuido]

well said

[ghostmanuk1]

Those Hippies could have been working therefore earning money instead of protesting. I love to see the hippies get beaten up by the police.

[Amoktwo]

fuck you Herzeleid22...what do you mean with "no money" you fucking rich bastard...the system give some people to much and others nothing ...but when the Revolution is coming the poor people will burn your Motherfucking house to the god dam ground...

[infrared567]

i agree with him actually

[herzeleid22]

Damn hippies. Its only people who don't have money who protest against capitalism. And why don't they have money? Because they spend their whole life smoking pot, putting their hair into dreadlocks and painting all of their possessions rainbow. Bunch of self righteous pricks.

[dono37]

ur an idiot. the ruling class in britain has exploited and oppressed the working class for centuries. only when the masses overthrow them and the system will their be real equality

[BottleOFishWhiskey]

You dumb ignorant bastard. Soon enough the world will crush capitalism and when it does It's gonna crush people like you too.

[infrared567]

totally agree with u thts all they do

[howieboy62032914]

Good video

[TheSwinesDeathhhhhhh]

wers russell brand striping in the may days riots??

[garenk]

we need some kind of riots to clean up the world, however this one is not good enough

[harshash]

looks like a bunch off emo wannabe hippies too me,,,fuck lefties

[mikesatomicdustbin]

You call everyone an emo wannabe dont you, and how many times do you need to be told, its 'bunch OF' not 'bunch OFF'

[dyspraxia]

great vid, but you need better music. like ATR or something

[smoothstuf]

wtf was that shit? a bunch of bloody gimps! n dat aint rioting!

[hist101]

there was like 10 seconds of pushing and shoving

that is not what i call rioting

[micmilitia]

It dont mata who u r wot u do aslong as u belive in the beliefs and want 2 bring down captalists tats all tat matas y u gotta break ppl down in 2 class's man wot happened 2 unifien against the goverment so all u so called workin class ppl bitchin about ppl stealin ur parade suk my dik dont mata wot class u r slong as ur gunna fuk up the corparations fukin cum on mayday 07

[MadChucky2006]

O.k. agreed on the silly bints in pink wigs, they help nobody...

But I dont think a largely anti-capatalist protest should be restricted to a particular group of people, working class or otherwise.

P.s. I'll admit to being a middle class student, but I don't do art...I study media ha

[TrystanCJ]

I'm probably what you could call 'lower middle-class', but I think that the anti-capitalist movement MUST be prodominatly working-class, if it's going to work. A bunch of middle-class hippies dancing their way through London is pointless, stupid, and they'll probably fuck off to become accountants when their older.

[MadChucky2006]

Alright Che fucking Guevara, because obviously middle class art students don't have an opinion..

Plus The Levellers are shit, so fuck off

[MadChucky2006]

Does it matter who protests a long as they care? YA BIG SHIT

[mart2play]

I`m with you brothers...fuck rioteers!

[davebones]

im on sthirtee kay tooo nyaaa nyaa

[lajopi292]

Jobless lefties! Go coppers!

[craigstronach1964]

scumbag reds ha ha

[theblurbman]

it's ace and so's the vid

[piran75]

you dont get it dudey - bet you work for maccy d's!

[theblurbman]

Whats the song?

[lorissimo]

the song is DIRT from the album Dead Elvis by Death in Vegas. it samples a speech made during Woodstock with the famous line: Its a free concert from now on.

[soulriot69]

The clear example of so many ideologies on the left side is the spanish civil war, that's why we never can win anything.

[cronayne]

cool but ive seen much bigger riots
