Schoolkids are showing the way to go in the anti-war movement. Reclaiming the streets, dismantling the barricades designed to keep protest in check and moving quickly behind police lines while resisting heavy police handling. In a show of great sus whistles, sit-downs and
spontaneous defiant actions have kept Parliament Square out of police control for a couple of hours now.

At around 12 a large group of mainly teens broke out of the fenced in Square and occupied the road in front of parliament bringing all traffic on that side to a standstill. Shortly after, another enterprising group, seeing traffic still moving, blocked the junction nearest the Abbey, ensuring all traffic was halted.

As the police attempted to clear each protest many others quickly moved behind police lines and occupied another part of the Square. As we heard whistles, many headed towards that section to strengthen the occupation there.

By two o'clock despite heavy handling by police(many complained that it felt like having their arms pulled out of their sockets when removed from a sit-down) the central junction at bottom of Whitehall was sucessfully occupied.

Keep on showing the way - by tonight we could have brought this city to a standstill!
