NUS national protest against the cuts 10.11.10 [London]

[Streathamite]

i'm not impressed by these students. all they've done is start a tiny fire, steal a sofa, jostle some cops a little break a couple of windows. step it up a bit!

I know, "In YOUR day, they caused REAL trouble...."

[Dan U]

lot of police round tory hq on the TV now, looking suited up

 

[fractionMan]

Burn it to the ground

 

[OneStrike]

NUS tweet that "they are disappointed in the actions of a few", hopefully tweeted with a smile

 

[revol68]

yeah - on the first day of the winter olympics in hell

oh I know, still one can have the absurd dream that a union might actual go on strike and not one of those counter productive one day ones every other month.

Perhaps, though the President of the NUS is on BBC News now, desperately trying to condemn utterly what has gone on. His future job in wonkery is being smashed as thoroughly as the glass in Millbank Tower.

[gawkrodger]

[killer b]

[Zabo]

Can anybody tell me if this is your actual real policeman or somebody from Community Support? Cheers

 

[Fruitloop]

If it walks like a duck....

 

[Dan U]

red and white is City Police isn't it?

 

[detective-boy]

Having been watching live on the news, I just thought I'd mention that if anyone wanted to see the police allowing protest (including criminal damage and minor assaults, and the "invasion" of a private building) without batoning anyone into the ground (let alone randomly batoning protestors just for being protestors without any grounds whatsoever) they could watch now ... so that if it does all get a bit more violent later when the protestors ramp it up to the stage where the police need to intervene (like they've now started throwing things off the roof) it will be apparent how it all started ...

It's a City Police officer.

If anyone wants to know how this picture does NOT tell the whole story, turn on News 24 now.

 

[Orang Utan]

bravo! think they've stormed the building proper now. they'll be hard to get out.

 

[Fruitloop]

These are not just any protestors. They could be the sons and daughters of journalists, lawyers and who knows what.

News 24 never tells the whole story

 

[rekil]

[Flanflinger]

TSG said to be moving in.

we know who started this, the government, the cops are their armed wing and not neutral.

they only 'allowed' it because they utterly got caught with their pants down and had no choice. the building wasnt even defended according to Sky news etc

see also the big rave in central london the other weekend.

are you seriously suggesting the Met let the protesters in to Tory HQ as an altruistic gesture

 

[rutabowa]

so could any group of protestors.

oh ffs that's enough. I'm all in favour of these crazy students doing this, but from the footage I've been watching I've been INCREDIBLY IMPRESSED with the amount of restraint from the police so far.

Cheers Dan and detective-boy. I've never see the red chequered hat before.
