I didn't know they kettled Jews. You wouldn't think that sort of crowd control would be necessary when they have truck mounted machine guns pointed at the crowd, and the cops/soldiers are actually eager to use them.

The ghetto clearances were usually pretty orderly affairs, because most Jews believed that, since they were good citizens, if they obeyed the orders given, that everything would turn out ok.

I read about ketteling being used in the ghettos in a book years and years ago, I get a feeling this guy read the same book (the naem of which I forget) but I can't see where he cites his reference.

During the Second World War, however, the word was also being used to refer a practice that is more similar to the contemporary police tactic than to large-scale military action. At about the same time as the Battle of Stalingrad was underway, the German armed forces in Warsaw, the capital of occupied Poland, were — in accordance with their government’s policies — attempting to concentrate all the Jews living in the Warsaw ghetto into a very restricted area so it would be easier to “deport” and then to kill them. This area, which was cordoned off with ropes, was nicknamed “the Kettle.”[1]​

Only slight bit of pushing and shoving I saw all the time I was their was when a few cops got isolated whilst trying to take the speakers and wheels of a musical trike..


Will have to wait to get home to see what else has happened..

Great friendly atmosphere

:)

There's a reference to it here:

Sounds a bit different; and it certainly had a different outcome. :(

Lol it really is disgusting to be celebrating the death of an old lady. I hope she suffered those last few months in a 3k a night care home.
 
BBC finally catches up with, ffs, Aftonbladet from Stockholm (De planerar att "hänga" Thatcher hours ago):

Hundreds attend anti-Thatcher protest in London

Around 500 people have attended a protest in central London following the death of Lady Thatcher on Monday.

The demonstrators took to the streets to voice their anger at public money being spent on her funeral and also in response to her policies while in power.

The BBC's Andrew Plant has more details from Trafalgar Square.
