What REALLY happened in Trafalgar square

Its private property end off. Sorry but thats the law. I am sure if I broke into your house and refused to leave you would want me arrested and removed.

Maybe but it varies from case to case. Tbh if you want to be giving out leaflets you should be doing it outside the shop rather than inside.

If you're on someone else's land, and you don't leave when you're told to, then you should rightly be hauled off to a police station. There's nothing 'peaceful' about encroaching on someone else's property.

I'm rather sick of protesters believing that, in addition to causing a hell of a racket and practically shutting down our city centres, they are also perfectly entitled to go around performing criminal acts because of their half-baked political beliefs.

Welcome to the police state, don't worry though, nothing will happen to you as long as you stay at home, watch x factor and drink coca-cola.

Oops. I meant to put minority

Personally, I have lost confidence in the police in general. While I agree that it is only a minority who are bad apples, it often seems like the rest don't mind covering those up.

My opinions are probably brought about by how football fans are often treated by coppers (and by the establishment) tbh.

Other means - smashing shop windows is going to be more effective than a mass-peaceful protest? It just gives everyone who doesn't support the protest a reason to ignore it, labeling it a bunch of violent yobs who don't really care about the cause but want to smash shop windows. This is pretty much what happened in the student protests. The media jumped at the chance to show the relativley few students who were being violent and let everyone make up their minds about the rest.

Its counter-productive.

You do all the honest police officers a disservice by assuming they would be happy to cover it up and ignore it or just go along with it. That is a great disservice to them and the many thousands of honest hard working police officers. Even saying that is insane.

Oh please, violence at football games is quite rare these days and usually it's started by some fans but controlled well and dispersed by the police officers.
Most times they deal with it very well.

the only way to protest legally is to attend a labour party sponsored rally in Hyde Park.

tell that to the Libyans

The Libyans are not rioting.



Unless his is your idea of a rioter?

When you screw over the entire country, you have to expect retaliatory actions. I find the sheer courage of those anarchist black block people highly inspiring. They are so under equipped but still face up to the highly trained and well armoured forces of oppression which stalk us all. Their bravery is undeniable, but the mass media would tell us they are cowards, as they pat the backs of so called brave police officers dressed in body armour dragging disabled people out of wheelchairs and murdering newspaper sellers in cold blood.

How can these violent "protesters" seriously believe that the majority of people will support their campaign if they go around smashing up buildings and throwing stuff at the police. Then you complain about being arrested !!!!!!

The point is not everyone was 'smashing up buildings' and 'throwing stuff at police'. In fact, most of the people arrested (at least 138) did none of these things, despite what the media would like you to believe.

blah blah ****ing blah the medias evil blah blah blah, what did they photoshop those anarchists smashing stores up? maybe it was some really advanced cgi, same ****ing tune with you losers........****k offf
