Oxford against war!

The evening was also marked by heavy police aggression. An obviously worried and overstretched Thames Valley Police Force reacted with haste and force to most blockades, with a blockade of St Clements being met with uneccesary force, pressure pointing and, at times, kicks and punches.
In other news, the Town Hall was totally locked down from 4 pm because of fears of an occupation. Democracy lives in Oxford obviously...
Meet at 12 pm at Carfax tommorow (Friday 21st) for more
protest, or at 6 pm at Carfax if you can't get out of work!
In peace,

police violence

of a situation, the police fell back on violence.
One person I spoke to had his arm twisted by police,
though he wasn't even blocking the road. He then swore
at the cop, was hit on the back of the head - and arrested!
Maybe I should send that one into Schnews...
This was undoubtably just one of many similar incidents
in Oxford, there were many rumours floating around but
I thought I'd report what I heard directly.
