The student demo arranged for Albert Square, Manchester today turned into an impromtu reclaim the streets.

The demo started at midday and since then around a thousand pupils and students have been running, marching and occupying the streets of Manchester city centre.
Kids broke through police lines several times and have quite frankly been running rings around them. Several arrests have been made and I saw one sixteen year old held to the floor by his neck with several cops around him.
It really is going mad with separate groups all over the city centre, they really are up for it!
