Trojan horse has been lit.

I'm sure you'll be alright - but if your wife's worried, I reckon now's the time to get the hell out of Dodge. Cos it's only gonna get messy from here on in. You've made your point, with hundreds of thousands of others.

I'm bang up for staying, but even she knows what the sudden appearance of people clad in black means.... well keep going to Hyde park

The picadilly kettle has been broken and the crowd has moved to Duke Street, off Regent Street, round the back of Fortnum and Mason.

Riot police are outnumbered by protesters and they are trying to increase their numbers. Protesters continually break through police lines, releasing red smoke, throwing missiles and clashing with police officers.

A red and black banner has been hung from the second floor of Fortnum and Mason.

Police reportedly have no control over the crowd.

Beth Bridewell, a London Student Journalist and student at Royal Holloway, said: “I was pushed into a wall by the police before being trod on by protesters and then pushed by police again. At which point I just ran out of the way. On protester threw a stick at a policeman that didn’t have a helmet on and it appeared to cut his face.”

Music is playing through a large PA system brought in by the protesters.

Yeah, and after Kingsnorth we all know what that means.

Kelsey:

We're at Oxford Circus at the moment and it's a really excellent festival atmosphere. I just spoke to two teenagers aged 17 and 19 who have come from the comedy show in Soho Square, and they said that what they heard there made them think more than anything they have ever learnt at school. It's their first demonstration and when I asked why they came they said they realised that the demonstration is about more than just the UK. They can understand the connection between the shops and the banks that people are targetting and the global situation that is effecting everyone. For these teenagers the protest is absolutely opening their minds to a much wider picture. It's very exciting.

"Ironic that across the middle east people are giving their lives to protest in this way, something we perhaps take for granted." Sky news anchor just now...incredible really...

The response she got about the fire was great, she really tried to push the whole 'chaos in London' angle, and the guy was like 'yeah it's just a fire, big deal'.
