If you didn't do it, and they therefore have no video evidence then their case will be very weak and you can expect it to be reduced/dropped. Good luck - try not to let it get you down!

Legal Advice

LDMG had legal observers out yesterday. We are trying to contact all those arrested and any potential witnesses. If you were arrested the first step is to get a good solicitor. If you do not have one already then use Moss & Co (020 8986 8336). Then please get in touch with LDMG. Good luck.

I afraid I have no pity for you. If you dont want to risk getting arrested, stay the hell away. I'm sick of this, I couldn't get home last night becasue of all the protesters blocking the roads and screwing around with the trains. You applaud the actions of a grade A halfwit who D-locks himself to the front of a DLR train, and you cause untold chaos and misery for those people who have to live here. Personnaly I think you all deserve a hiding in the back of a police van to knock some sense into you.

Go home and let us get on in peace you selfish pillocks

Well done indymedia for allowing AnnoyedLocalResident above to post on your site. The fact that you give the stupid fascist room for his views shows what an excellent and impartial service you provide.
