UK Energy Summit - Big 6 Bash

City of London, Thu 3 May 2012


 
 

 Police occasionally tried to stop people chalking on the pavement, but largely ignored it

 Police talking to a man dressed as a sunflower and holding chalk and dinosaur

 Police and protester shout at each other

 Police try to prevent people holding up a banner to the hotel window

 

 

 
 
 

The kettle starts with police wielding batons 

 

And asking for the protester's kettle to be put away as a safety risk! 

Inside the kettle 

 

Protesters were kettled outside the hotel where they wanted to protest. It was unclear what purpose if any the kettle
had other than alienating the protesters. It really felt as if the police had no idea what to do, but felt that they had to
do something to save face. I decided nothing further was likely to happen and went home.
