The people of Cardiff took to the streets on Halloween to demonstrate their anger at the "war for oil".
Despite an aggressive police prescence two to three hundred people marched to the American Consulate, bringing traffic on the main road through the city to a halt.
The protestors were tricked back onto the pavement in order to make way for a non existent ambulance, but when the deception was realised they took the street again chanting " Whose streets ?? OUR streets!!!"
At this point the police realised they had lost control completely and had to call for reinforcements, who manhandled protestors back onto the pavement.
After a stand off with the police, demonstrators marched back to Cardiff cheered on by motorists, passer's by and office workers.
