Must admit, I've missed most of the news about the protests in London, but these photos are astounding.

And there's always one numpty who holds his shield the wrong way up, eh?
3rd from the right did NOT go to Uni
Didn't notice that
ecilop?
ah, I assumed that that one was left handed and the shields only 'worked' when reversed for holding in the right hand.
i know very v for vendetta
Lock em up.
I think this is pretty much the best photo of the year, looks like a painting, its ace. I bet its going to be in every single one of the 'year in pictures' the sunday supps print at new year
Apparently Camilla was poked by a stick.

No. 23 from DezB link is amazing
elf, she was poked with a stick, not 'by' a stick. Sticks aren't renowned for poking people.
Yeah but the joke don't work then. Oh it's rubbish really I haven't thought it through propply.

made me laff anyhoo.
I've been poked by a stick insect.
Does that count?

What did it poke you with? Was it on Facebook?

I take it this one was using her best Gandalf voice

Neither, it used an appendage.
That's just indecent.
Anyway, is it just me, or in these photos does it appear that for every student there are five photographers?

It could just be that Photography is part of the Media Studies course!?
I think I'll get number 23 blown up on canvas to go above the mantlepiece..
3rd from the right did NOT go to Uni
No, he just didn't turn up for the rehersal.
i thought it was illegal to take photos of the police?
Phil, this is way before the recent anti-terror legislation (Sec. 76?). And that law is bloody silly and hardly anyone understands it anyway.
Basically, you are allowed to photograph police, generally*, but you mustn't use the images for terrorist purposes.
*Places like airports and that you probbly can't, and if they're on undercover duty and that. It's a bewildering and confuddling bit of legislation tbh.

The photographer who got that will have creamed themselves the second they saw that - they will have known it will be paying for their Christmas and then some (assuming they were a freelancer of course).
No Matt is an AP staffer, so no extra money for pressies.
When being charged by mounted police, is it not be possible to hoist oneself up onto a horse, throw off the rider and thus take command of the steed? I've seen it done on cowboy n indian films.
Boring as none adopt the ancient Roman tactics? Otherwise, I would gladly sit down to watch with a cup of tea and a bowl of pipe.
For example:




Well, if the police use water cannon or light armour tank then the tactics need to be updated.
oops! is that the same numpty on the left there, turned up to the wrong re-enactment on his re-enactmenting day off?
