The Olympic torch relay that's supposed to symbolise peace and world unity is instead turning into a parade of protest across London.

This is the scene live, where a huge security operation has been launched, but protestors angry about the Chinese crackdown in Tibet have managed to disrupt the procession.

  • China may have stolen the Tibetan Land, but Tibetans will always be Tibetans in their hearts.

    China will never conquer the Tibetan People, because deep down the Tibetans will never accept Chinese rule.

    China can pretend that the physical Tibet belongs to them, but Spiritually,Tibet belongs to the Tibetans.

    His Holiness the Dalai Lama is Tibet.

    • Long Live His Holiness The 14th Dalai Lama.

  • Free the Monks of Kiri Gompa in SE Tibet 04, 2011!!!!!!!

    The Tibetans’ Culture is being eroded by the influx of Han settlers,

    The Tibetans are Being economically and culturally marginalized in their own ancestral land,

    The Tibetans are Treated as second-class citizens and discriminated against by the majority Han Chinese

    FREE TIBET!!!!!!!!

  • have they ever been to tibet these protestors

  • Mmm now that London had a riot, China have good reason to boycott the London games, stick it to those idiots!

  • It's a shame really that people had to turn a non-political event into a heavy political one, but they managed it! It's also a shame as we are next, yes China's politics must be improved and Tibet should be allowed to express itself as a free country but as Winston Churchill once said "Democracy is the worst form of government except for the all the others that have been tried" but really why would you want to attack a kids TV presenter who was spoken out against China while carrying the flame.

  • Most international tibetan protestors haven't even been to Tibet.

  • "The Kirti monks... are on the frontline of a dangerous struggle to keep Tibet’s culture and religion alive, and no amount of attempted smears about sex and gambling will change that reality."

    The local government also accused a small group of monks of "disrupting social order" for a long time, with some inciting mobs to riot in March 2008 amid widespread unrest across Tibetan areas of China, Xinhua said.

    Have you tried the Falun Gong exercises yet?

    They are good for you and your family.
