When the cops were revelling in their unleashed brutality on DayX3, they also hit a 20 year old student on the head. At a press press conference on Saturday (video 1 | 2 | 3), it was explained how police neither let people accompagnie him, nor rendered assistance themselves. His mother has also explained how police were trying to stop him being admitted to hospital. After following a vigil last Friday, there was a call to kettle the cops for today. Sadly there was no way the meager turnout of about 50 people could have actually reached around Scotland Yard, not matter how symbolically. See tumbles for updates at the time.

It remains unclear why so few people urned out. Was the event not announced properly? Is there not the most basic human decency and solidarity? Are people too afraid to come because of the snatch squads that have been turning up at protests recently?Just to be clear, whether you were at any of the previous protests, hell any protest ever, or one of your friends was or you have a son or daughter who attended: you should have come. It could have been any of us. And it could have easily ended even worse than it did. If it wasn't for Alfie's caring and courageous lecturer and mother, it probably would have.
