Loads of people arrested in Trafalgar Square

Everyone kettled and then arrested for breach of the peace at the end of demo

After the shocking 'criminal damage' of an attempt to smash the windows of Tescos and Waterspoons, everyone left at the London protest was arrested for breach of the peace, taken to Kentish town station and released. Clearly failing to smash a couple of windows is such a serious threat to society that it merits three hours of police time and a huge amount of taxpayers to arrest a bunch of people who by this point were mostly engaged in such dangerously anarchistic activities as singing nursery rhymes and doing the conga.

Bloody tyrants, bring on the revolution!

Not everyone was taken to Kentish Town Police Station, and not everyone has been released

avoid Trafalgar Square + Guide to Public Order Situations

Trafalgar Square is a favourite place for the police to hold everyone in, and then charge in with batons or handcuffs. They've been doing it for years, sealing people in before they even came up with the kettling tactic.

Keep abreast of tactics, send suggestions in, print and distribute, the Guide to Public Order Situations, earthfirst.org.uk/publicorderguide.pdf (or link below for web version). These are the places it gets updated to, every now and again from feedback and discussions.
