Channel 4 "Mayday, Mayday!"

The tissue of lies surrounding media reports of 'violent anarchists' at Mayday continues to fall apart.
At 7:30 pm, May the 4th, channel 4 screened a half-hour documentary on the mayday protests. The verdict? That far from a gathering of hooligans bent only on destrcution, the protest was peaceful and made the police look like menacing fools.
At least it looks like some of the more intelligent people in the media are starting to realise that they were conned by government propaganda about 'samurai sword' wielding anarchists and rioters, and other absurdities. The documentary, which included a lot of footage from the protest, basically mocked the ludicrously disproportionate response to a largely peaceful protest. Mark Steele, in particular, did excellent work in ripping it out of media scare tactics.
Let's just hope they remember this next year . . .
