London Student protests - Wed 8th Dec+ Thurs 9th

[editor]

It's been as violent as fuck, with a mounted police charge earlier kicking off the aggro.

 

[Orang Utan]

oh i see what you were getting at now.

sky are shit anyway, watch bbc innit?

their cameras are in different places so i'm alternating between both

 

[DrRingDing]

RT @UKuncut: If you're outside of the kettle, the consensus seems to be: head to Trafalgar Square

No, not Trafalgar Square.

 

[ymu]

You mean you reckon it'll kick-off bigger?

It's kind of obvious that it will.

 

[Lord Camomile]

So what's this all about then?

 

[_angel_]

Looks nasty in some places out there. Girl from Cambridge had her collar bone broken by a horse charge; apparently a lad pulled out of his wheelchair and beaten, etc. No doubt there's some aggro in the other direction too, but I know who I feel more sorry for, and it's not the ones with their state-sanctioned weaponry.

Did you actually see that?

 

[rekil]

So what's this all about then?

Candlelit vigil gone wrong.

 

[TopCat]

BBc shows new attack on Westminster bridge line of police.

 

[Lord Camomile]

You should never leave a naked flame unattended

 

[TopCat]

One cop has "serious neck injury"...

 

[twentythreedom]

good, the cunt

 

[TruXta]

Pincer maneuver from the students? More student bods coming Vic St. and down Gr. Smith St. according to BBC.

 

[TopCat]

Waves of "new" protesters converging by all directions on the Square.

 

[chilango]

interesting developments at the moment...two groups heading towards Parliament Square?

 

[gawkrodger]

reports from on the ground say there's no way in a month of sundays that anyone is getting into parliament sq

 

[where to]

rear flank have of students have approached Victoria Street line of police according to BBC

 

[TopCat]

The MP's are going to find it hard to get out of the House.

 

[Crispy]

The MP's are going to find it hard to get out of the House.

There's a direct underground connection to Westminster tube they could use.

 

[TopCat]

The vote happens in 45 mins.

 

[TopCat]

There's a direct underground connection to Westminster tube they could use.

That will have issues. Scraps on the tube are ultra dodgy. This is why the transport cops are nutters.

 

[ddraig]

fair play to the students not backing down
news obsessed with 'who is organising these movements'

 

[ernestolynch]

Lol @ aggro

 

[twentythreedom]

@markthomasinfo

There are a small minority causing trouble in Parliament Square but they are dressed with blue helmets and visors so easy to spot.

 

[stethoscope]

Also...

"Kay Burley describes students as 'insurgents' but still not quite as outrageous as describing herself as a 'journalist'."

 

[lopsidedbunny]

There a secret tunnel that connect Westminster Tube station and the House of P I think there's another tunnel that goes straight to the buildings opposite.

 

[teuchter]

That will have issues. Scraps on the tube are ultra dodgy. This is why the transport cops are nutters.

Westminster tube is closed anyway.

 

[lopsidedbunny]

Waves of "new" protesters converging by all directions on the Square.

 

[chilango]

Riot Cops in Parliament?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

One cop has "serious neck injury"...

Is that the same one who fell off his horse or a different one?
