.
On Halloween masked up demonstrators visited the City of London to demand better wages for cleaning staff. There is probably more wealth in the square mile including the City and Canary Wharf than anywhere else in the country. Yet the people who keep those offices gleaming are lucky if they get the minimum wage.

United Friends and Family March 2007

02-11-2007 16:03

The annual procession...
The ninth annual remembrance march for those who have died in custody saw angry speeches by bereaved relatives outside Downing Street. The march started with a silent procession from Trafalgar Square to Downing Street. The Police tried in vain to speed things up and keep the traffic flowing. They have regularly made all kinds of petty attempts to harass the marchers. This year was no exception. They mobilized no less than 8 motorcycle outriders to steward a march of less than 200 people. Over policing, or just making a point?

Upon arriving at Downing Street the silent procession became a noisy explosion of anger led by Janet Alder whose brother Christopher suffocated on the floor of Hull Police station, while officers made fun of him. The Police attempted to enforce the SOCPA ban on megaphones. So Pauline Campbell took hold of the mic to remind them that she had been arrested 14 times and that previous attempts to prosecute her had failed dismally. The megaphone remained in use for the rest of the event.

After finishing at Downing street the march then proceeded to Parliament square for more speeches. The march was briefly held up by a particularly inept Police motorcyclist who parked his bike in front of the banner leading the procession. He was quickly surrounded by furious protesters and had to be removed from the melee by his colleagues. Deliberate disrespect, or just inept?
