Bringing food to the march is cheating. We're aiming for maximum impact of the post-march alcmahol aren't we?

Apparently, yer man there was killed directly after the photo was taken. A bit of a bad omen for today probably.

I shall walk the dogs, and go get on that train. Possibly see some of you in a while.

 

[Littlelostlamb]

Am there abouts with Jon of arc and dollys gal. Keep us posted re which pub you're meeting at later (I couldn't work out which was agreed)

 

[belboid]

Having a nice cup of coffee in the cage in Red Lion Square. Can't be arsed to hang about on the embankment for two hours...

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Apparently plod have a section 60 in place all across London today.

 

[Jon-of-arc]

Cmon ppl, wheres this pub action?

 

[Blagsta]

Good luck everyone. Solidarity!

 

[Badgers]

Met up with peeps at the Imperial War Museum park. Was pleasing and everyone seemed in good spirits. Listened to Hazza Harman get heckled, chatted to a pair of cheery coppers and now off to work. Shame not to be marching but the people of Brixton need burgers.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

MetPolice just tweeted saying there is no sec60 in place.

e2a; plod on the ground think there is a sec60 - might take a while to filter down!

Couldn't fucking make it up.

 

[xes]

coffee, food,then I'm on my way. Might have to leave my head in the freezer for a bit too, but that shouldn't take long.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

It's set off now - it's actually quite easy to wander around on the embankment though, in case anyone is worrying about getting trapped.

 

[belboid]

Whichever cunt decided these fucking little horns would be a good idea needs to die.

 

[nagapie]

Would have liked to have joined my union on today's march but unfortunately am ill in bed. Have a good one!

 

[Firky]

Saying on twitter that they (police) have put a section 60 into effect for today's march.

Isn't that to do with violent football hooliganism or can it be used wider?

NM Googled it.

 

[8115]

Stop and search, innit.

Section 60 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, gives police the right to search people in a defined area at a specific time when they believe, with good reason, that: there is the possibility of serious violence; or that a person is carrying a dangerous object or offensive weapon; or that an incident involving serious violence has taken place and a dangerous instrument or offensive weapon used in the incident is being carried in the locality. This law has to be authorised by a senior officer and is used mainly to tackle football hooliganism and gang fights.

There isn't a sec60 in place.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

loads of people here - 100,000 according to police - but it all feels a bit tame compared to last year. Lots of union presence with their smart placards etc, but there seems to be less small groups here and less of a diverse mix of people. People seem, well, less angry than previosuly, a bit of resignation in the air perhaps? Still, a good turnout. Let's see what happens later...

 

[8115]

It looks pretty busy on the news.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Excellent!

 

[Jon-of-arc]

Dollys gal has pointed out two blokes in purple unison gimp suits.
