Cleaners busy but Olympic clock looking bit worse for wear. The 4 on the 400 days looking bit dim due I think paint or bit burnt.

Just saw pictures on the news - with the anchor taking on the most solemn of solemn tones to describe the paint splat on it - that clock wont make it to 2012 i just know it. Its dooooooomed...

are they doing anything illegal on sky news as they are about to film photograph protesters.... any legal buff on here watching skynews??

You mean they're filming the plod photographing people as they're let out of the kettle?

Can't think of any reason why it's illegal.

Anyone else who's thinking it's bloody stupid of plod to let them, shut the fuck up until the morning

Right. Did Sky show footage of people being photographed on the way out of the kettle?

If so, the legal defence and monitoring lot should know. Not absolutely sure it'll help, but worth a try...

It's well known that plod photograph and take names of people as a precondition to being let out of kettles already - more evidence won't hurt but it's unlikely to make much difference at this stage.

They can get away with keeping your DNA on file for things you were never charged with, so I doubt the odd polaroid will be treated as a big deal.

Yes, but it's not so common for footage of them doing it to be broadcast - to potential jurors... see?

To potential jurors on what sort of case?

 

[skitr]

obviously can't say much, but was at f&m, spent a night at her majesty's pleasure, what they've got is a very easily sorted charge, hopefully anyway.

Looked to be a very peaceful occupation with no damage caused. I doubt you'll get charged with anything in the end, you'll just be dicked about for as long as they can. I'm sure you're getting good advice from the right people anyway.

You helped bring corporate tax avoidance to the fore of the media coverage, so Well Done.

To potential jurors on what sort of case?

Don't know yet.

All I'm asking is: do we know that Sky broadcast images of people being photographed on the way out of the kettle?

May be worth knowing. May not. Won't do any harm to know.

It was being tweeted about from multiple sources at the time, so although I didn't see it myself, it seems highly likely. I'm sure someone must have been glued to Sky and will be able to confirm (or otherwise).

May be worth knowing. May not. Won't do any harm to know.

I can't for the life of me see how tbh.

I can't for the life of me see how tbh.

That's why you're not a defence lawyer and, er, I'm not either

 

[skitr]

Thank you very much Always need good messages at times like this, so it means a lot.

I assume you said nothing except are you arresting me and on what charges? Have you a solicitor? Shopping at f&m's is not a crime.

 

[fractionMan]

Good luck skitr, and good on you too

 

[frogwoman]

Good luck skitr, and good on you too

Fair enough.

Yeah, went down that route Sorted my solicitor thankfully. Although uncut and others say to use Bindmans, i'd put them down, but from what i was hearing, the decent majority of people from F&M had put them down, and no-one was getting through to their staff. So i changed it to a solicitor I know who's very good, and it seemed to work. Without giving too much away, i'm assuming that's why i'm one of the only two people released today, the second person using the same solicitor as me.

Good luck skitr, and good on you too

Thank you, you lot

Mouse faced fuck Miliband denouncing DA but was droning on about the suffragettes in his speech earlier.

...and finished up with a quote from Martin Luther King. What a hypocritical fucker.

Just doublechecked. He claimed the march was in the tradition of the suffragettes and the civil rights and anti-apartheid movements, then said 'we stand on the shoulders of those who have marched and struggled in the past.' That was the best bit.

The WSPU had always announced militant demonstrations well in advance. On 1 March 1912, for the first time, the Union struck without warning: about 150 women were given hammers, told exactly which windows to break, when to break them, and how to hit panes low so that glass would not fall from above. At 5.45 p.m. in Oxford Street, Regent Street, the Strand, and other prominent thoroughfares, well-dressed women produced hammers from handbags and began to smash windows. The firms whose windows were damaged included Burberry's, Liberty's, Marshall & Snelgrove, and Kodak. Foreign firms were not exempt - windows were broken at the offices of the Canadian Pacific, the Grand Trunk Railway, and Norddeutscher Lloyd. Police arrested 124 women. The damage was estimated at £5,000.

 

[Part 2]

The MLK quote Milliband used was the same one used by Smiley Culture's family in their statement last week.

 

[DotCommunist]

the cheap fucking prick

 

[nino_savatte]

Yes, I heard him say it and as he did so, my mate and I left Hyde Park for Oxford Street. I got some heckles in though.

Thank you, you lot

skitr, I hope you'll stick around and encourage us to get out for future actions. I've been sitting on my hands so far, but now I want to get involved.

 

[frogwoman]

glad things are looking up for you

 

[skitr]

Course I will. It was the first time I'd ever been nicked on a demo or anything, and although you know you've done the right thing and nothing wrong, there's a lot of ways they try and put everyone off from doing stuff in the future which i suppose is what they want, but the reaction has just strengthened my belief and need to get back out there, as I'm sure it has everyone elses.

Much appreciated everyone.
