civikl rights for a peaceful protest gone in this country

7 hours locked up in a large group unable to leave, took a dump at bank underground station, police wouldn’t let us out, they were taking peoples names, address and photos.

What a disgrace treating people worse than cattle grabbing people that refused to allow them to take their photos, like common criminals holding their hands behind their back to take photos, going into their pockets taking details such as credit card numbers and the name on the credit/debt cards.

Looks like we have lost our right to protest in this country.

Pics with bread or it didn't happen

No, but seriously, sounds like a rough deal, can you clarify it all a bit though?

Protesting against the govenment bailout of banks, protesting about the crap govenment we have, protesting about MPs expenses.

I take it this was part of the "peaceful" G20 protests.

Do you realise what would have happened if they didn't bail out the banks?

What would have you rather happen other than the Government bailing them out?

In what ways would you like to see the Government change? Have you written a letter to your MP?

yes, nothing would really happen as banks are seperated into different companies.

I seem to remember watching a news piece in which two protesters were saying they wanted everything to be peaceful whilst a bunch of people were behind them smashing windows up. Peaceful :rolleyes:

if you were that bothered youd at least write something about what your protesting about, to get others on here involved, but no youve gone on a rant about police which no one wants to hear.

Yes ive sent a letter to my local MP, came back with some crap etc....

For a start all directors fired for a start, company sold to other banks, this would force the banks to price their MBS.
