8 minute film of bush protests in parliament square yesterday. more than a thousand police blockaded whitehall and brutally foiled any attempt to voice peaceful protest outside downing street while the disgraced war-criminals had their cosy dinner before being consigned to the dustbin of history
main itv news on sunday night - itv reporter standing in downing street live states that there are 2000 demonstrators at the top of downing street
either his political geography is so bereft he shouldn't be in the job, or it's a blatant lie
in fact, the whole of the whitehall area near downing street was sealed off by over a thousand police and while bush and blair smile for the mainstream cameras outside number ten, their baton wielding 'yellowjackets' are beating the crap out of anyone trying to exercise their democratic right to protest peacefully outside downing street
later, around a hundred riot police enter the square and forward intelligence teams direct 'snatch arrests' as protestors numbers dwindle
in all there were 25 arrests and several injuries including four protesters taken to hospital. according to police, eleven remain in custody this morning
the war-criminals bush, brown and blair however remain at large and the public are warned not to approach them.
the 'stop the war coalition' had promised they were going to 'defy the ban' and march up downing street, but it was the samba band that actually started the popular surge against police lines, and later the stwc stewards were actively helping the authorities as usual by moving to the front of the crowd at the barriers, and pleading with them to move away 'for their own safety'. at this point, hundreds staged a sit-down protest
film is uploaded in both mp4(quicktime) and wmv formats
mp4 can be viewed on the free vlc player on osx,windows and linux. this app plays many different formats without hassle and is a free simple download from videolan.org
the first arrest i witnessed was a middle-aged man in a straw hat dragged from the crowd. his t-shirt said 'civil liberties lost = police state' - very apt i thought

I remember a while back some great quality videos were posted on Indymedia about the G8 demonstrations in Scotland.
I'm not sure if there are file size limits on uploading videos here, but we all have broadband and it'd be a welcome change to view some of this great citizen journalism in high quality. There are plently of free .divx video converters like VirtualDub on the net.
I'm not having a go, just a suggestion.

Great Video as usual

Still the sacrifice was worth it: sources that say up to 25 papers were sold. Rumours that a riot cop was seen to buy one have been denied.

the reason i don't ask is because your the only person who's complained......its a waste of time; and it would waste my time asking.

People, it isn't about what Indymedia UK states on its help pages or what is 'allowed' or not, it is about courtesy. Of course you can probably reuse, but just asking is nice, rather than just taking. Remember, nothing is really free..
