clips: "We agreed that anger against climate change and the bankers and the financial crisis were two sides of the same coin," said Marina Pepper, 41, a climate campaigner from Brighton who helped organise the talks. "Someone suggested we all congregate at the Bank of England and make that the centre of everything. And it all went from there."

The organisers, Put People First, are a coalition of trade unions, international charities, NGOs and churches. They said last night that the march was designed as a family event, with music from Salvation Army brass bands and a sermon in Westminster Hall by the Bishop of London. One of the organisers, Dave Tucker, from War on Want, claimed police were behind "systematic misinformation" about the demonstrators.

"They're trying to put people off a peaceful demonstration by saying we're going to be hijacked by anarchists and there will be molotov cocktails in the air. We're the voice of normal people in this country demanding more fundamental change than is being offered by politicians."

A small "anarchist bloc", including one or two delegations from France and Italy, will join the march in an attempt to raise support for midweek activities, but groups are circulating "no ninja" text messages - a reference to the black masks that became symbolic of hardline groups in the late 1990s.

However, police are most concerned about a day of action planned for Wednesday 1 April, dubbed "Financial Fools Day".

The alliances pledged weeks ago in the bank vault have fragmented somewhat, with dozens of separate groups planning simultaneous action across London.

A theatrical group calling itself G20 Meltdown will lead Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse on processions to the Bank of England, where they plan to serve "English tea" and project nude silhouettes on the Bank's walls.

Stop The War and CND will hold a rally at the US embassy, on Grosvenor Square, while the campaign group People and Planet says it will target the Royal Bank of Scotland. Smaller campaign groups are planning "autonomous actions," attempting non-violent occupations of banks, tube stations and other landmarks.

Wow, what a bunch of pussies. Anarchists aren't supposed to be nice and smiley and cheery and so willingly back up and lose ground like they don't care, like there only there to be cool. Throw some molotov's, hit somebody, break somethin.

British police are heavy handed thug scum

What about the man who died when you pushed him over and killed him ? Do you think we have forgotten ?

Think again

That really made me laugh. That first push was the softest thing ive ever seen! God, do you guys realise you are at a riot. Getting a bit of a push in the direction required is fair play if your not moving. Section 5 is causing harassment, alarm or distress with your words i.e. swearing, cops are human too and dont need to be sworn at as mush as the next man. Nothing to do with terror act silly man. They black guy got nicked didnt he... says a lot.
