Reclaim Brixton - Town Hall stormed by protesters

[ViolentPanda]

Boris will be itching to get his water cannon out!

Doesn't he have enough illegitimate offspring already?

 

[isvicthere?]

So dangerous and violent that half a dozen or so formed a ring to have a quiet kickabout...

I was among them. I probably doubled the average age of the group.

Nifty bit of footwork all round, you lot were a joy to watch. Apologies for not joining in, but between handling my camera, a placard, and never having learnt to play football (it was actively discouraged)...

Me and Georgie Best: separated at birth.

Oh Spanky, you're so controversial!

 

[shaman75]

Would have thought the Telegraph scab all their pics off twitter for nothing in return for 'a credit' like all the other 'journalists'.

Don't know about that, but he's been making a commendable stand on twitter vs some laughable local new lab councillor who was ( seriously ) whining about the champagne bar having to be boarded up for the day.

It's a shame that C & F didn't have the sense to put something like "solidarity" on the board used to protect their windows, it might have started a tiny bit of bridge building...

Ha ha ...possibly ... Think there might be just too much class symbolism embedded in C + F, from the name upwards, to make that work tho

Surely they'd be in favour of more of their target market moving into the vicinity though.

Povs buy nice stuff too, even if we do it less often.

True. Although I think I can count the amount of times I've been to a champagne bar on one finger. (Is it a champagne bar, or just a posh deli?)

 

[Citizen66]

Seems it's both.

I can count the number of times I've been to a champagne bar on my mum's cock.

I did it in an airport once, mainly because I wanted oysters and I was single and flush with holiday cash.

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

The Champagne bar at Paddington is okay

the editor made a few quid selling pics of public sector workers celebrating the death of Thatcher

I know him. He's a self-centred, rugby shirt-wearing knob who is somewhere to the right of Iain Duncan Smith.

I sold one picture of a person at the demo who willingly posed for the picture and liked it so much that he asked me to send him a copy afterwards. Which I did. Oh, and I gave the fee to a south Wales hospice.

eta he didn't

Why should they? Right from the start they have been made to feel unwelcome. I don't know what they would be able to do to make people a little more happy that there is a champagne and cheese place in Brixton. Maybe they don't know either.

 

[David Clapson]

I like a bit of champagne. But I don't understand why you would buy a bottle in a bar for sixty quid. What's wrong with getting it cheap from a shoplifter and sneaking it into the pub like a normal person?

 

[sunnysidedown]

How about you lift it yourself, soft cunt.

 

[David Clapson]

I don't know how to get the security thingy off

 

[shaman75]

Best run fast then

What, and froth it up worse than at an F1 finish? Show some respect for the fizz.

I don't like champagne but I understand people have it for treats and celebrations. Drinking it in the pub (unless for a particular celebration) is a bit weird.

Back home now. The Police were very hands off all day, compared to central London protests I've been to. But when they tried to walk into the street party with two fit officers, the liaison officers got coated in beer. Then the heavies moved in and pushed them off the road. About 30 mins later, the street party lot headed down the road with the soundsystem. It was all looking quite good until two masked men smashed the windows of Barnados on Stockwell Road. They were swiftly arrested and it got quite tense while the police tried to get them in a van. Bottles thrown and batons drawn. The helmets came on then and the area got locked down outside the police station, after the police confiscated the bicycle soundsystem.

Barnados???

where is Twattor?
