thousands of people in fluid and well organised break away groups took to the streets to show their anger at the inequalities of a capitalist system that continues to reward the rich at the expense of the poor and working classes. Global corporations, banks and symbols of decadence where all targeted throughout the day.

The Protest, The Police & The Press

from http://www.1stcasualty.com/?p=1280 The media have once again jumped all over themselves to attack protesters and violence. As ever they miss the point and refuse to understand the reasons behind political violence.

Pics of UKuncut Fortnam + Mason Mass Arrests
27-03-2011 17:22
Scores of people were arrested last night after the UKuncut action at Fortnum and Mason. Inside the occupation [see press release] all was pretty chill [see youtube video and pics] although there had been some initial scuffles earlier outside - one door had been blocked by police officers and some tried to push past to get inside, at the same time further along the shopfront another door was wide open and people were just calmly walking inside.
Whilst flags were waved out of windows and signs held up at others a huge crowd of TUC marchers cheered from the street looking on. Later more police arrived and tried to block the side street, parts of the crowd linked arms to block the vans, whilst others tried to push through police lines. As time went on more scuffles occured as police pushed people back. Other people from the crowd climbed up the side of ther building and took to the balcony. In the end large numbers of riot police split the crowd, pushing it away from Fortnums in different directions.
Those inside were discussing what to do and were in contact with the police (as can be seen from the pics linked above). They were told if they left of their own accord they would be allowed to go. This wasn't the case. They were surrounded and then one by one handcuffed, filmed, then lined up in a long line in the side street, searched, and loaded onto two coaches and othger police vans to be taken to police stations across London.
It's interesting to note the public police take on this was that by the time they moved to make arrests 'all the peaceful people had left' and those that remained were criminals. Not falling into the trap of dividing people into neat categories, the truth is that after the police cleared the road, the only people left at Fortnums were the ones that had been inside, making speeches, holding meetings and standing up for the belief that we need to take direct action to change our society.

Meeting in Kennington Park at 10 am, the feeder was loud an powerful. Seeing the diversity of the people taking to the streets was amazing!
Before turning onto Westminster birdge, there was some confusion where we were going to go. Some said Waterloo bridge was the place to be, while other's insisted on taking Westminster bridge. At the corner of Victoria Embankment and Westminster bridge the crowd came to a halt, with people in every direction as far as the eye could see. All the way down Whitehall it was so crowded, it was hard to move around. Opposite Downing Street TSG was lined up, prepared to baton their way through the thick crowd at any sign of trouble.
For a protest of this size the atmosphere seemed a bit subdued, just as if people actually believed that their being on the streets could achieve anything. Except for the women block who inserted a bit of energy into the crowd. I guess their used to unfavourable odds.
