A call for autonomous anti-war action meeting outside the LSE also called a couple of police vans, so protesters dispersed and met again a bit later at Covent Garden, where they took over Long Acre for Food not Bombs, free sandwiches handed out, having blocked the road with a chain and shopping trolley.

Police arrived after 20 minutes or so and took away the chain and shopping trolley, so most people moved to pedestrianised Neal Street, at which point police seemed to lose interest.

With loud drumming, whistling and pots and pans banging protesters then swept along Shaftesbury Ave, Soho and along Oxford st and Regent st, holding up traffic all the way.

They then joined the end of the Stop the War march to protest outside the BBC in Portland Place.

Support from people was good except for three oikey wankers on Oxford St who heckled and grabbed some free sandwiches and flung them onto the road - a pretty disgusting display of brutalised behaviour.

The protest was loud and traffic stopping and shows what less than 20 people can do
