First aId point now open at Big Society HQ, Curzon St.Huge demo in London against Cut-backs
26-03-2011 20:23
Hundreds of thousands of people marched through central London today 26th March against the ConDem government’s cut-backs. Simultaneously thousands are taking direct action against corporate targets, and the action continues as we write at 7pm. “Various parts of London have been taken over by the protest,” reports a participant to X26 Radio. The demonstrators are protesting against government austerity measures which force the bulk of the population to pay for the economic crisis which erupted out of the banking sector two years ago.

Cops Still Guarding Topshop

The cops are still at it, guarding Topshop from the dirty, dangerous hordes (aka the British public). Not much going on, but we get some strange lighting effects on the camera phone with the reflective uniforms.

A selection of Images from Protests of 26th March
26-03-2011 18:22
Hundreds of thousands of people are marching through central London today. The demontrators are protesting against government austerity measures which force the bulk of the population, and especially public sector workers, to pay for the economic crisis which erupted out of the banking sector two years ago.
Most of the demonstrators - trade unionists, families, and people against the austerity measures - will take part in the officially-sanctioned TUC demonstration. In addition, many groups have signaled their willingness to do more than march, with protest actions being called for by multiple groups. Fast-moving direct action groups are currently moving through London's West End, the high-class shopping district. They have been smashing in windows and doing sit-ins at corporate targets which have been identified as tax-dodgers or in some way responsible for the economic crisis.
Here are a selection of images from the protest... (big thanks to all photo takers!)
