LONDON MAYDAY 2006 VIDEO
Doug. | 02.05.2006 11:44 | Mayday 2006 | Repression | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements | London
The video starts on the South Bank with Critical Mass then moves to People in Common in Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square, who seemingly were the only people on the day to dare defy the SOCPA Exclusion Zone.
Later at the Bank of England the Space Hijackers did a spoof Police victory celebration of finally suppressing the Anarchist and Pagan commemoration of London Mayday, which in the past was massive. The Space Hijackers were photographed all day long by a mysterious private Security Guard, as well as by the Police themselves.
Moving back to Trafalgar Square, the Autonomous Bloc arrived on the Trade Unions March, where riot and surveillance policing was much in evidence. The video finally ends on a happy note in the Square, after the Unions had gone, with dancing to 'Pedals', a much appreciated Critical Mass sound system.
If the video is too small try saving it to your desktop first.
