Cardiff Anti War Action 31.10.02

Despite an aggressive police prescence two to three hundred people marched to the American Consulate, bringing traffic on the main road through the city to a halt.
The protestors were tricked back onto the pavement in order to make way for a non existent ambulance, but when the deception was realised they took the street again chanting " Whose streets ?? OUR streets!!!"
At this point the police realised they had lost control completely and had to call for reinforcements, who manhandled protestors back onto the pavement.
After a stand off with the police, demonstrators marched back to Cardiff cheered on by motorists, passer's by and office workers.
