Jun 2013 - my london diary

	J11 Carnival against Capitalism West End, London. Tue 11 Jun 2013
	The police officer tells them they will be committing an offence if they continue to play and suggests they might be 'processed'. The band debated whether to continue and the crowd shouted at the police for trying to stop them playing. The band looked at the map and decided to go on to their next stop, which was BP's HQ in St James's Square
	Police looked worried as the protesters began to arrive at BP, whose doors where firmly shut but all the protesters were going to do was to stand around and make a lot of noise and denounce BP for their many crimes (why some asked don't the police arrest the criminals in these offices rather than peaceful protesters) or listen to the samba band continuing to play despite the police threat and show their banners Or get in the way of photographers when they are taking pictures! A classic example. That man with a big camera might be in the right place to take a picture so I'll hold my phone directly in front of his lens! Welcome indeed to Pig City! But by now I was tired and went home.
