A few snaps from the over policed G8 protests in Derby on March 17th - when marches in the centre of town had been banned by the government and exclusion zones set up in the surrounding villages. 12 cyclists were arrested in the morning - has anyone got any pictures of this or the critical mass protest?

More pictures are available here, including the last picture of my bike before the police took it away from me as 'evidence'. I will ride The Harbinger again if its the last thing I do before being kicked to death by the bizzies.
