Students Against Cuts - Day 32

Parliament Square & Whitehall, London. Thursday 9 Dec 2010


 
 Large black clouds of smoke and flames brought many of us running to the northwest corner of the square

 where some people had set fire to a security hut which had been overturned earlier in the afternoon

Some people had been trying to leave up Whitehall, but police decided to close it off 

with riot police and police horses they pushed the crowd back 

again I was threatened by police who refused to let the press through 

 

 

 

 

Shortly after this I made my way back to Parliament Square. At one point I was again stopped by police who
refused to let me through despite the area being completely calm at that time. A few yards further across the road
where another officer was in charge I and others were able to walk through the line without showing my card,
though I needed it again to pass through another line and onto Bridge St, from where I was able to make my way
to catch a bus to Brixton.
