I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone that's helped to spread this around, it really means a lot. hopefully now someone will be made to answer for the days events, including the use of a sacrificial police van as bait to justify their tactics against us.

I wasn't planning on uploading this, I assumed the BBC would mention it along with their coverage of all the other protests, they didn't.

These protesters are not those who were kettled outside the treasury building, we weren't allowed in for that, after some kids had started fires and thrown some sticks n junk at the police lines separating us from the main protest they began to move forward.


This happened about an hour and a half after police started pushing us back, they had already deployed the cavalry 3 times, although those instances were less aggressive than this one.

I have decided to follow the anticuts campaign and make a documentary out of all the footage I gather, so this will eventually be in there.

Thanks to the net that we can see this sort of thing as the mainstream media in the UK fail to report it. We all need to wake up to this before we have sleepwalked into a police state

Pleased to see people are waking up to the fact that the Government cares precisely nothing for ordinary peoples` concerns and uses the police as its bouncers...its called the Capitalist State. PS the top richest one hundred individuals in the UK own 1300 billion pounds-that might solve a few crises-if they CARED.

@KYKIN44 You use the word 'brutality' far too loosely, as do the majority of others who comment on videos like these. What you mean to say is 'justifiable use of lawful force'.

[ShrinkingDeadStar]

yeeah suuure you had your wallet out during a protest, what were you trying to do? bribe them or something? nice story *claps sarcastically*

[lucasadams2005]

i saw what happened to the woman, she got hit in the shoulder SO fucking hard with a baton then charged...

[Superstar7]

that dozey girls says 'I was here to protest agaisnt the f**king schools....the uni's'

WHAT?????

And why was her wallet out in her hand I wonder???

[stylophobia]

Well the Govt takes our money all the time so you obviously reject them as dicks. It depends whether you think one man owning billions is moral when others in the world are retching their own guts up through starvation. You have a remarkably cavalier attitude to the ability of others less fortunate to make their way through life-but I accept that`s fair enough if you don`t care about the future of your children or civilization.

[KYKIN44]

I am glad that I am not a policeman or ever had been one becase of all the innocent people put in jail that is now out and all the drug arrests that are out and all the brutality that the police have committed & hurt many other people by lying and putting them in jail there must be millions of very angry people when shit hits the fan they will hunt police down like a dog with rabies and cut his head off and put it a pole and do the same to his family police R armed and retarded they R cowards

@stylophobia the richest have no obligation to just give their money away.

What sort of dick thinks he/she is entitled to others money?

Anyway, the new fees the government plans to introduce aren't actually that bad. Just a bunch of hype. Raising the wage at which you're supposed to contributing back to 21k, (from 15k) is perfectly fair... also most unis will only double the fees, not triple.
