Glasgow anti-war scenes

m | 23.03.2003 10:42

quick summary at 2am

Police chasing thousands of anti-war protesters round the streets of Glasgow. Riot cops being called (though not deployed). Some arrests and many more beatings being carried out by the polis. Police boxing in a peaceful protest. Protesters breaking through massive police lines to even *reach* said protest...

... and a distinct lack of any of this on the Scottish TV news. Not much Scottish TV news at all, in fact.
