You ever been on a protest? Or even thought that you'd like to go on a protest? I've thought about going on a few, the trouble is that a lot of people who protest all the time / career-protestors, really get on my nerves, even if I agree with their cause. Like when they exersize their rights to pathetic levels at inappropriate times ("Officer ! I would like to make a complaint ! That man assault me by touching my arm !").

A few of my friends went to London for the student loans thing, and got arrested for being on the balcony at that posh shop.

In all honesty gonz I'm just a bit too selfish, I have little free time as it is, and my lifestyle is pretty good, none of the stuff their protesting directly effects me enough to motivate me to go. I went and protested the university buildings that ruined the view of the meadow where I walk my dogs, but couldn't muster the desire to go and protest for the nhs, or any of the other myriad causes that I should be concerned about.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 4 Mar 2013, 13:31, Reply)

Not in the slightest. What it looks like is protestors attempted to force the police line
and the police forced them right back again. Violence then ensued. The reporter says, right at the beginning of the report, that "six petrol bombs were recovered". Petrol bombs are not something you improvise in the middle of a fight. You prepare them beforehand. The people spoiling for a fight here were the protestors.

Now come on, you dont have to believe everything you hear.
The report does give a very one sided point of view, you will always have some elements that spoil for a fight in which ever crowd situation you are in. The problem was their were innocent protesters including kids etc. who were jammed up against a violent response from the old bill.

And this is the point, once the police start to react in the way they did they become indiscriminant and people were getting badly hurt who did nothing against the law.
(Bonzodog29 is an unemployed sponge of the worst kind, Mon 4 Mar 2013, 13:46, Reply)

Yes, they do. They are trained to break up the crowd.
Sometimes people get caught out and sometimes innocent people get hurt. It is regrettable. What I take issue with is the statement from Tangles that the police were there to start a fight. They weren't. They got rushed, they reacted. That's all.

You don't have to be punching and kicking to cause aggro.
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Mon 4 Mar 2013, 14:06, Reply)

As I understand it the police forced a change to the planned route on the morning of the demonstration.
In order to facilitate this they lined the route with mounted officers.
The official line of the demonstration organisers was to stick to the revised route, however unhappy they were.
I'm not for one moment suggesting that there wasn't an element who intended to try to take the original route, but as I have repeatedly stated, the police were the ones doing the charging not the demonstrators.
We reached the fork in the route and, after all the argy-bargy, that is where the march ended.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 4 Mar 2013, 14:11, Reply)

fair enough.
the charging through people's front garden thing is pretty inexcusable mind.
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Mon 4 Mar 2013, 14:16, Reply)

Watch the footage.
You see how the riot police came in from behind the uniforms? That is because they were being held back in reserve. There was a line of normal policemen cordoning off a road. The riot police moved in because the crowd tried to force their way through the cordon. That is what happened. The police made no aggressive moves until your lot tried to force their way through. They were forced right back again and the mounted units moved into to disperse. That is standard riot control. It is still used today.

I'm getting sick of this conversation, now. I get that you didn't like it as you were caught in the middle and feel you didn't deserve it. The police were not there to start a fight. Your lot were. They got a kicking as a result and then bitched about it afterwards.

The end.
( Kroney, Mon 4 Mar 2013, 14:16, Reply)

Alright I've just watched again and I think you are referring to the bit around 40 seconds in.
You are correct that the riot police come from behind the normal officers.
I can't see any agression from the demonstrators before the push from the riot squad.
I'm not saying that people weren't trying to breach the cordon and take the planned route - I am saying that the police approach was disproportionate and overly aggressive.
The riot police were in evidence throughout the march, presumably as some kind of deterrent.
"My lot" were mainly families and college students and had no plans to breach any police lines.

and doesn't reflect the whole. No petrol bombs were thrown. Six were recovered. Why would you make petrol bombs if you weren't intending to throw them?

Saw some protestors on the way home from town on Saturday
They were protesting against new powers brought in to shift squatters, with the enthusiasm only students from white, middle class homes can muster. They ought to shift the squatters into their (parents') houses. Bet they won't want to protest then. I figure, don't protest against something you'd want to be in force if you were the victim. The victim being the property owner, in this case.

I saw something about the changes to squatter laws that meant they were all now using business premises instead of houses now

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Mon 4 Mar 2013, 13:26, Reply)

that's fine though, cos small businesses can easily afford to get rid of them
i mean it's not like they provide jobs and growth* to the economy that help prevent people from being homeless.

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 4 Mar 2013, 13:28, Reply)

it's now a criminal offence to squat in a resi dwelling
so they are targeting commercial instead. empty pubs are a prime target as they usually have facilities like kitchens, bathrooms etc.

Used to sit with a bunch of unwashed hippies at Greys Monument in Newcastle and started eating beanfeast shit.
Soon saw the error of my ways when they tried to stop me eating sweets because they had gelatin in.

And meat just tastes better really.
