More Criminality Hits London
// A group of Tommy Robinson supporters has blocked off a major road in central London in a tense stand-off with police, who made several arrests.
Supporters chanted “Free Tommy Robinson” and hurled missiles and smoke bombs at police.
Hundreds of demonstrators descended on the capital and blocked off the road around Trafalgar Square.
A spokesperson for megasightseeing.com said: “Our London sightseeing bus was on its normal route when it got caught up in the demonstrations. The bus was stormed by demonstrators. “The demonstrators have caused a significant amount of damage to the bus, which meant it had to be towed away.
The Met said that as of 6.30pm, one person had been arrested for possession of an offensive weapon, two for assault on a police officer, a fourth for possession of a flare and a fifth for criminal damage to a bus. The Met will now look at CCTV footage of the demonstration. //
What is a football hooligan supposed to do on a Saturday afternoon, when the season has ended?

Mamyalynne, I've no idea why you posted that link. We know some of them climbed on the bus - just not the claimed 'hundreds'. And that isn't really getting hung up on a word. It demonstrates that the report is flawed.
//they shouldn't disrupt part of the Capital to noisily bleat their disapproval. //
All demonstrations disrupt. Would you ban them all?

Thanks for posting the video Mamyalynne,
I am even more convinced that the protestors are Robinson’s Luton Town FC hooligan element, the MIGs.
Robinson was convicted in 2011 of using "threatening, abusive or insulting behaviour" during a fight between supporters of Luton Town and Newport County in Luton the previous year. Robinson reportedly led the group of Luton fans, and played an integral part in starting a 100-man brawl.

// I don't believe that any protest, pre-arranged or not, can be guaranteed to be problem free - do you?//
yes
oh god one of the usual suspects as an apologist for violence - so long as it is 'good' violence it is OK
yes there is a right to demonstrate - peacefully
the peaceful bit is part of the job spec
and I have a new idea that no one here has thought of:
for a demo there should be keepers or jockeys keeping order not wiv guns or ennyfing but by authority wivvin the group alone - i know ! lets call them 'stewards' ! foo !
good idea dat one ! - nest week I will re-invent the wheel!
