The first road block after leaving the camp.
Those sinister plain clothes CRS discuss their plans...
...like the law banning facial coverings.
Meanwhile on the other side of the barricade...
...the protesters gas themselves to save the Police the trouble.
The clowns keep busy Police helicopter spotting.
The long march to the protest...
...gets regularly held up by cops in fetish gear.
You can only imagine what they get up to when off duty?
More clown violence.
Taking the scenic route.
The mysterious Calais pie shortage is explained.
At least one Police line is breached.
So those designer cops appear...
...and initiate their public relations strategy.
The main demo finally begins.
Which seems to entertain both the locals...
...and the water cannon operators.
Samba mayhem.
Terrified cop in the midst of that media predicted riot.
Numerous road blocks ensured that those leaving the camp took nearly two hours to reach the assembly point. The 1,500 riot cops had very little to do except get slowly baked i their riot gear.
The march had a carnival atmospehere. The locals all seemed to enjoy the spectacle. A good event that was well worth attending.
