As well as this 'Sack Parliament' demo, the usual protests in Parliament Square by Brian Haw and others were continuing. The turnout for the demo (except by police) was so poor that the police gave them a little help by setting on a few people who looked vaguely punk who were in the square and adding them into the corral. They also arrested a number of people who were just standing around and may or may not have had anything to do with the actual demo.

I was very pleased to hear that Marc (the photographer) had been allowed home from hospital. Unfortunately I didn't see the assault on him, but I hope witnesses will be found.

Despite there being so few demonstrators, the media coverage of this event has been very extensive. I will post a fuller account of the afternoon and many more pictures on my web site in a few days time.

incorrect information

at no time did i claim that i had nothing to do with the demonstration (i am the woman in the picture with related caption) i was very definitely there for the demo & am proud to admit it whatever the consequences. i was asking to leave because i had already been through a disturbing penning experience at drax power station protest (location barlow village) & had had no intention of getting penned at this one.i was actually man-handled into there by police against my will. after that i thought me personally continuing to protest was pretty pointless and i only wanted to get away to catch my train back to caerfyrddin/carmarthen, to rejoin my 12 year-old son. (i had actually made provisions for him to be cared for, but that is neither here nor there.)

Penned in

I have been penned in before and I have at later demos avoided being penned in. The problem when everyboy bunches together it.s easy for them to pen people in. If you keep your eyes open you can see them doing it and then move around and spread out to stop them doing it.
