Nah, not really
there have been a few "skirmishes" and the protesters have managed to basically get Princes St closed for the day, but there are just far too many police to actually get any proper riots going with so few people.

Still, quite entertaining in its own little way...

I've just looked at the bbc news pics
the last pic is the police helping an injured shopper away. what the fuck she was doing trying to shop on Princes Street today is beyond me
