In London:
"Around 50,000 students, lecturers and members of the general public took part in what is being labelled as the biggest student demonstration in a generation, jointly organised by NUS and the University and College Union (UCU). The march covered a route pre-approved by police from Horse Guards Avenue to a rally outside the Tate Britain where protestors heard from UCU General Secretary Sally Hunt, NUS president Aaron Porter and TUC deputy general secretary Frances O'Grady" -
Unfortunately there were a few "Rouge Protesters"ruined the peaceful protests NUS & UCU condemn these actions.
How ever here in Derby protesters kept in line and stuck with the peaceful protests the police there were just there as a precaution.

Considering that in video footage I've seen the rogue protestors you mentioned happened to be waving anarchist flags and bearing anti-war and anti-trident banners, I'd suggest that NUS and UCU are probably directing their disgust at the wrong people. As you came into the march there were a number of socialist leafleters, and at the end of the march area there was a big anti-war stand.
ReplyDeleteI know they are. I did say that NUS & UCU condemned there actions.
