I’ve been to the protests and I can vouch that they have always been peaceful.
The people protesting come from all backgrounds
Some people there are also working people
Uniting with others and speaking out about what is wrong in society is a “useful” thing to do

… and let’s not forget that RT is also “government run” and that “they only show what the government want them to show” as well.

It is not acceptable that people are claiming they are only doing their job. Our job as human beings is not to neglect ourselfs, each other, or our planet and its species. NOW TIME 4 CHANGE IS HERE

“Peaceful protesters”?????????? No, poppet. You were engaged in a violent ongoing criminal action and had previously assaulted both police and members of the public. The only complaint I have about the police is that it has taken so long to deal with your appalling behaviour.

You are as bad as the rioters and probably the same people, middle-class halfwits with too much time and too little integrity. Time to grow up and do something useful.

It’s because the BBC is government run, they only show what the government want them to show. .

What is concerning is the lack of sleep we have had yet again because of your actions.

Resizing the images used on this page would make it load quicker, especially for people who aren’t using broadband. The images are in files that are almost 2MB each, with 12 million pixels in each image, but the page is set up so that they get download full size, then re-sized in the web browser to only about 300,000 pixels per image.

Clicking on the image could still link to the high resolution images if you want to share them for printing.

Reposted from the video thread on facebook:

It seems fairly straightforward, the bailiff had committed at least one, possibly multiple assaults. At that point the occupiers are well within their rights to try to apprehend him, especially as they had already requested that the police do so and they had apparently refused.

So, whether the car was moving or not, the actions of those present were, rightly, taken to prevent the perpetrator of a violent crime leaving the scene. They did their civic duty.
