It's fucking on now, chaps...

The best banner I saw at the demo all day. I was going to write a blog post all about the demonstration, its effects and what-not, but after that Indy article I don't much see the point. I'll just re-iterate my main views though:

a) Violence against the Police is wrong. They are just doing their jobs, and they are facing cuts too. Don't be a dick.
b) Smashing Tory offices is fair game. They are going to ignore our views anyway, so we'd better remind them that they don't live in some far away land and we can touch them. In the parlance of 300, we showed them that "even a god-king can bleed"; actually quite fitting given the Tories' monumental arrogance.
c) To slightly misquote Austin Powers, "who throws a fire extinguisher??" Seriously, whoever threw that fire extinguisher was trying to kill somebody in the crowd below. If a student or policeman had been killed, it would have been a fucking tragedy (see point a).

So yeah. Now for the witch-hunts and that. Luckily for me, I didn't actually raise a finger in anger (god, I've mellowed with age), but was proud to say I was there. When I get the two rolls of film I shot back from the developers, I might post some up here.

Peace x
