[chilango]

Sorry, meant yes as in quite clearly and obviously

Ahhh. Ok.

Wondered whether it was a comment on aesthetic similarity not being matched in tactical militancy...

 

[chilango]

Any live coverage of this for tose of us outside the UK? Sky's is UK only, the BBC seem to be focussing on inside the house.

Adorno - Negative dialectics. He'd hate this shit.

How so Mr B?

 

[butchersapron]

He attacked the studes didn't he? Or was that Marcuse? I may begetting my central european elitists mixed up.

 

[lopsidedbunny]

I was there a few seconds ago P Square filled up and loads of Students trying to get in and walking around outside. There were at least three different marches taking place including one from south london. As usual police cock it up and don't leave enough room for protestors so as a result the protestors push thier way through and break the cage in P Square. The olice are now resorting to police horses to fill the gaps as police are blocking every route thinkable into Whitehall and P square. Off to watch it on T.V.

I thought you were castigating the students for using shields, ("this shit"). Weird choice of book titles in fairness.

 

[butchersapron]

Movement. that's good. Bottles starting to go.

 

[belboid]

the books are now at the forefront

copper down just seen on news24

 

[past caring]

I am off now - wondering if there's any chance me getting anywhere near. Keep the texts coming please - bus or tube, I don't know....?

 

[revol68]

some drip just mentioned some candle lit vigil for the time of the vote, what sort of scum come up with a candle lit vigil as a protest tactic.

the NUS ffs.

useless

 

[ymu]

Yeah. That's the NUS protest. They refused to back the NCAFC protest down in Parliament Square. They'll have about three people attending. No big deal - they won't draw away anyone who would otherwise have tried to do something more meaningful.

 

[smokedout]

 

[where to]

Past caring, got this off twitter if you're heading down:

Cops allwing ppl in 1s & 2s leave kettle on NEside (Gt George St)/Up Whitehall to TrafSq

According to SKY cops asking people to head back down to victoria embankment as way the agreed route apparently

 

[butchersapron]

Next hour decides how/where this going.

 

[editor]

The police lost it for a bit, but there's a-kettling coming up.
