These are his latest reports about 5.30 pm:
Climate camp protesters just pushed through police lines and smashed five windows on RBS building with hammers.
Two climate camp protesters being led away in handcuffs, protesters attempting to “de-arrest”.
Chants of “We'll be back” and “our bank”.
Climate camp protesters now surrounded by police on RBS side of bridge.
Sitting down to make consensus decision.

Your services might be as useful as a barber's shop on the steps of the guillotine.
