Police struggle to control hard-core anarchist rioters after 500,000-strong London march against government cuts ends in violence

Extremists brought violent chaos to Central London yesterday after hijacking the much-heralded trade union protest against public spending cuts. Trouble continued to flare late into the night as hundreds of people attempted to hijack yesterday's massive anti government cuts demonstration. Riot police fought activists in Trafalgar Square as violent protesters threatened to overshadow the TUC rally in Hyde Park which had earlier passed off peacefully. A Metropolitan Police spokesman said between 200 and 300 people had gathered at the landmark location late yesterday evening.

"We have them here as well. They call themselves Progressives on this side of the water."

They're also called the Democrat Party.

I noticed that many of the signs that were being held referenced the group UNISON. After looking them up, they seem to be tied into the SEIU group. No surprise.

My guess is there are some agent provocateurs getting the crowd ginned up even more.

I bet, in a few months that will come out.

The UK will use this to help their interest.

Good point regarding Anarchists.

And, one that is completely beyond the grasp of our media.

So, 200 to 300 punks and ruffians in hoodies and face masks can riot, break windows, throw trash cans at the London Police (in full riot turn out gear) for hours and turn the city square to a smoking ruin?

What ever happened to the policy the cops always were the toughest gang in town? PC cops have become insurance clerks who write up the after action assessment to send it to the claims and records office.

Does private property mean nothing anymore over there? This lovely fellow should have been shot.

“Does private property mean nothing anymore over there”

Of course private property means nothing over there; this is a country that lets squatters move into people’s homes and take up full residence. Then of course council committees decide how homes are decorated, gardens are planted, etc.
