Sound system back in Oxford Circus.

 

[Corax]

Missed it. Where? Outside Fortnum and Mason?

Apparently. That was a tweet I quoted - I didn't see it. Someone else tweeted that someone 'threw ammonia in the face of a policeman live on BBC' - sure they did.

 

[Corax]

Sukey:

100-150 riot police rushing towards Fortnums now

'This was the perfect peaceful protest', says Sky reporter

 

[paolo]

Initial wave was about 500-1000, now around the column. Still lots of space. Feed in from charing cross rd now back to a trickle.

 

[MellySingsDoom]

Radio - live: police attempted to kettle outside F&M, protestors ran around them and struck back at police. Injuries on both sides. Green & Black Cross medics in attendance. G&B legal observers on the ground too.

If everyone in Trafalgar Sq could now head towards Fortnums...Polis would have to abandon the kettle

 

[Dovydaitis]

A few minutes of tension at the column when some drunk footie thugs started trying to pick fights. Cops came and moved them on, and got a cheer. "Why are you siding with them?" said one of the thugs, to the police.
