The bloc broke along a side street early in the march, gathered momentum quickly. The police quickly tried to form a cordon down one of the streets off of Trafalgar sq, the bloc used text-book wedge tactics to break the cordon and flood into the rich shopping district of London. Throughout the march the bloc protected each other in large groups and moved quickly from target to target smashing banks and symbols and wealth, using heavy broom handles with black flags tied to them, stones, glass bottles and generally anything that could be found lying around. The police were clueless due to the fact there was no centralised leadership, just small groups of similar-minded individuals seizing the opportunity to display concentrated anger at the institutions that attempt to treat us like scum because we didn’t have the privilege of playing soggy biscuit with David Cameron and his f**kwitted Tory chums at Eton. They hid well away on Saturday, leaving the streets to be protected by morons with batons and shields, the police may have turned up with weapons intent on assaulting the public, we turned up ready to take whatever they had to give and then some.
At one point the police were blocked briefly by protesters linking arms, the police proceeded to beat the protesters with clenched fist around the back of the head and back, grabbing one protester by the face and slamming them into a metal fence. This shows that we are ready to put our bodies on the line for what we stand for and will continue to stand up to the rich and the police for the common cause whatever the cost.
