Message for video file. The protest planned was peaceful, but the police started kettling as revenge for the last one. The van in the middle was left there deliberately to distract the more active members of the crowd whilst the police forced the demonstrators into different groups. Please read the timeline before you make discriminatory assumptions about the demonstrators.

One thing for all of us to remember were that the police were under pressure, although it would be wrong for anyone to suggest that they were overpowered on the day. I can't blame the police as individuals but provocative and aggressive tactics shouldn't have been ordered by the senior police, and anarchists shouldn't have hijacked a peaceful demonstration - especially one advocating expansion of government (look up anarchist definition).

  • "Please read the timeline before you make discriminatory assumptions about the demonstrators."  < Please hear the police strategy before you make discriminatory remarks as to the fact they "started kettling as revenge for the last one".

  • @princesslozi The news coverage of 2010 was highly suggestive that police strategy should be tougher on the protesters than previous demonstrations. Perhaps revenge was a word used in a moment of anger, but in a way it still stands.

  • Resist rise up against British regime murdering its own people!

    Criminal British government supports other people over world particularly its spy agency supported oil regime change thugs as “peaceful protesters” even when armed,burning,killing,police,m­ilitary,officials in name of protest freedom.

    However British people in peaceful protest to address regime abuses are falsely demonized repressed like Britain has done for centuries murdering world to enrich queen and Cameron court gesture fools!

  • @SouthwesternEagle Nice one. Trouble is, he boasts about having 350 accounts and 60 mobile phones, or some such crap. He probably has, because his life is based entirely on YouTube. At least he won't ever fly out to fight me again, or anyone else. His missing teeth will serve as a permanent reminder never to do that again.

  • @electroexecutoide I'm onto this guy. I found him on the Atari video too. He has been reported.

  • please stop the riots.
