First of all adycousins, where you there? suggest you ask the organisers about who they employed before making a comment!

They did employer security,this i know for fact because one of my colleges done the search on the bus when it entered the estate. The head of the security team was called Danny he was with a very mean looking dog. Look I am not interested in a slagging match; just want to make a point.If you doubt that I was there, thats up to you but I am in the video towards the end.

[adycousins]

I was there. I'm holding the camera dozy. The fact that someone claiming to be a security guard had a mean looking dog is irrelevant. Its our legitimate right to protest about whats happening to our cash [and yes I am a taxpayer]. If you're not interested in a slagging match don't come on here slagging off 300 people just cos some eejit threw a bottle at you.

If you read my first comment i was not slagging off 300 people, just the young middle class student types who's mummy and daddy have paid for their education, and for who this period of political protest is just a phase. Those of you who truely beleive in what you are doing, i take my hat off to. I am a working class immirgrants son and am all for workers rights.

[adycousins]

I'd rather the "the young middle class student types" protested about the government handing our cash to overpaid city bankers than just sitting on their arses looking not giving a fuck about anyone else.

[adycousins]

These banks are cleaned and guarded by people who get paid a pittance and run by people who get paid huge salaries and bonuses. Our government is now paying these bonuses with OUR cash, instead they should be sacking the bosses and paying the cleaners and security guards a proper living wage.. Many of the students on this demo have campaigned over shit pay for agency staff in the colleges and have helped win the London Living Wage in some places.

[idy224]

Think about that next time you throw a bottle and one of us.

P.S can I have my hat back please!

[adycousins]

There is no evidence of any violence directed at the police from any of the video footage I have or have seen. You lost your hat, that's all, maybe one person threw a bottle, I didn't see it. You're full of shit idy224 and I doubt you are a security guard or that you were even there at all.

@EpicSlug china is a capitalist system pal

[EpicSlug]

I hope the protests go well for you guys over there. I hope it stays peaceful, and some good will come from it.

[plitterplatter]

This was only a very small protest of a couple of hundred people. But a massive anti-capitalist protest is planned for central London for Wednesday April the first. It will probably have tens of thousands of people on it.

I was also at this demo, I'm a student type, but my type is lower working class two job holding studying my bollocks off and trying to have a laugh whilst trying to change a system that oppresses me through studying political science and engaging in political activism in the swp. I do feel the sentiment though bre, my uni is full of these middle class types of which you speak. when i look at the student body as one mass i am also filled with cynicism, yet it is not one mass, we are out there!

[carmenlee87]

i recon there is a lot of this going on, but news are not reprting it.

[LordImmolation]

Ah gutted I missed this one - looks like it was good. How were the other events over the weekend? I think one of my comrades from our SWSS went down.
