I'm at the end of birdcage walk and there are a *lot* of people converging on parliament square now. making quite a bit of noise too.

a bunch broke through the cordon into st james park but then they joined back into the march.

 

[gawkrodger]

yeh seems tobe working again now. can't watch their live video on work computers

 

[DrRingDing]

claims on twitter that coaches with students coming in to london are being stopped and blocked by the old bill

This is going to cost the filth dear.

Ho ho ho.

Stopping a couple of hundred students on a bus is not going to stop this.

 

[belboid]

'Official' NUS lot going in to lobby now

 

[Sweet FA]

Erm no. I'm off sick

[Flanflinger]

I'm watching the live pictures now and it's obvious many are looking for trouble.

How is it obvious? Have they got little signs on saying "troublemaker" or something!

Quite right. How Clegg thought he could get away with it is astounding.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

You reap what you sow.

Then a slow death drowning in your own hate filled misery surely awaits

You wouldn't do such a thing of course; even if it's only a bit of e-argy bargy.

Already have.

Not sure they need PR tips from someone universally loathed.

 

[butchersapron]

"No" in what way?

Sorry, meant yes as in quite clearly and obviously

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Really? I think they will, well, I think they already have.

Looks like they're trying to build a bridge to me. Not sure I'd want to be first across, but you've got to admire them.
