Vids from the London protests 3-26

by Smeemo » Tue Mar 29, 2011 11:27 am

In case you missed it (I sure didn't hear about it through American establishment media), ~300,000 individuals occupied central London on Saturday to speak out against fascism, criticize government foreign and domestic policy, and give out thousands of free hugs. Here are some vids of the day's happenings!

Bumping because I can. Direct your flames to me personally, if you would be so kind!

I thought they were protesting draconian spending cuts.

I saw lots of people criticizing domestic policy like the insane public services cuts, as you say. The grassroots anti-fascist anarcho-capitalist groups were definitely out in force, as well.

edit: I can't help but think if these folks got together every Saturday to shut down central London commerce, the gubmint would have to bend to their will.
