Loads of people arrested in Trafalgar Square
Govinda Jaya | 30.11.2010 22:35 | Public sector cuts | Repression
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!
Bloody tyrants, bring on the revolution!

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.

Famous suffragette quotation
01.12.2010 02:53
"There is something that governments care for more than human life, and that is the security of property, and so it is through property that we shall strike the enemy.... Those of you who can break windows—break them. Those of you who can still further attack the secret idol of property, so as to make the Government realize that property is as greatly endangered by women's suffrage as it was by the Chartists of old—do so. And my last word is to the Government: I incite this meeting to rebellion!"
Her tactics led to the vote for women.
