Thatcher Dead Party 6pm Saturday 13 April Trafalgar Sq

[rich!]

ooh, that camvista webcam just went offline with 12 minutes to go...

 

[Wilf]

An interesting two decades, at that

I'm always a bit glass half full and certainly don't have a whig view of history. However if you'd told me in 1990 that 20 years on things would actually be worse for the disabled, claimants and indeed the whole class... ah well, keep fighting the cunts.

 

[Sunray]

Whatever it is, it still being held in a place designed so the police can pen you in if they want. It is the worst place ever to do anything.

The police presence and police state is a Thatcher legacy, embryonic from the Miners strike through the road building protests. You are therefore saying we should party in Central Tottenham?

Trafalgar Square is also easy for people to get to who don't live in London.

Probably swamped.

It's not offline, it's just overloaded. Trying to see whether it's actually still real-time when it comes through...

And Transport for London have removed any mention that they ever had a Trafalgar Square camera - watch for others vanishing to track the party if it goes mobile

Looks fairly sparse at the moment, where's the soundsystems and burning effigies?

 

[Ax^]

The place is. Seriously full of the bastards

 

[unusual_solid]

camvista up and running.

 

[tenniselbow]

Reading that private security guards have been deployed to protect "local landmarks" in the square. What powers do they actually have in a public place? Part of the trend towards private policing?

 

[Sunray]

Franky Boyle being class....

Centipede coming through

this looks ominous...

Looks like they've got the 'kettle' on for you all. Have a good night...and good luck!

 

[1%er]

OK we are ready. BuzzSW9 is explaining to 7 fisherman and 2 kids about thatcher. I think the bar could be full later as he told everyone in the bar on the night she died that he will buy the drinks for anyone who says "thatcher is a cunt".

At B$2 for a beer and B$1 for cacahca everyone will be pissed for less than 40 UK pounds

CCTV feed on the TV via the lap top and we are ready.

TopCat when you get your live feed going let me know and I'll send out the link to the email list I have for news companies in South America

That was taken November 30th 2011 at a student demo.

Was just going to post that. It is looking very crowded.

 

[Firky]

Some new shiny crowd control gear from the police. I wonder if the Met had a cash injection following the last riots to buy some new gear. Sort of reminds me the way Thatcher bought the support of the police by giving them attractive mortgages, dental treatment etc. in order to gain their loyalty.

"Here you go lads, some nice new equipment to smash skulls with. And don't worry if there's another Ian Tomlinson, we have a dodgy pathologist on standby."

 

[tenniselbow]

Or this one.

To my mind, if people want to be down there to mark the occasion collectively then fair play to them. If you don't want to be there, fine. If you want to make an argument about Thatcher, come out and do so. Sneering commentary is just juvenile, to be honest.
