Pics: #N30 London Strike March

01-12-2011 02:55

Millions around the country took part in strike action and street protests on Wed November 30th. In london pickets started early with many joining the massive main march from Lincoln's Inn Fields to Victoria embankment. I haven't seen any number estimates (anywhere) but it was huge...

PS Happy N30 anniversary... 12 years ago in 1999 tens of thousands of people shut down the WTO conference in Seattle in America as a vicious police clampdown and state of emergency was declared to respond to the direct action blockades by a fired up coalition of trade unionists, anti-capitalists or anti-globalisation campaigners, environmentalists and global justice activists. Demonstrations also took place in cities across the world. It was also the birth of Indymedia.

Whilst millions were on strike today it's not enough. The trade union leaders keep repeating that they will have to back civil disobedience tactics, but they never do. I think we all know the answer to this...

N30: My Day Out on Strike

01-12-2011 00:55

I'm not a public servant, not employed in the UK and not unionised. Went out on strike today anyway, got up at six to join the South London Solidarity Federation at the beginning of their mobile picket at Lewisham Town Hall, then hooked up with Goldsmith College Student Flying Picket, visited the picket line at Goldsmith University, met the Precarious Workers Brigade at Lincolns Inn Fields, moved on to Piccadilly Circus where a bunch of football fans from Thessaloniki gave an impromptu choir performance to a whole lot of met police who were as confused as many protesters, then walked down Haymarket just in time to see a banner appear on top of Panton House demanding "all power to the 99 %". By the time I'd found out that it was the offices of the mining company xstrata, the banner had disappeared, the police had blocked Haymarket with a few dozen vans and formed a kettle round the entrance of the building. My strike ended in the pub round the corner.
