They are co-ordinating alot of the support for those arrested and are mostly anarchists.

heya,
as was mentioned in the climate camp update, climate camp and LDMG had a meeting and agreed to split things this way, just so each could concentrate on specific events. I.e. LDMG would help with the bank protest, and climate camp legal would help with climate camp... makes sense!
contact ldmg at  ldmgmail@yahoo.co.uk, and contact climate camp legal via  legal@climatecamp.org.uk

Hey
The bust number on the LDMG bust cards was 07659 111192, for a solicitors called Hodge Jones & Allen. The LDMG contact details have been given above.

There was a split between the work of LDMG and the Climate Camp legal people, much of this was geographical, with one covering the anti-bank actions and the other the climate camp. From experience though there is another split, in that LDMG will give uncritical support to any defendant (ie regardless of the charge), whereas its suggested that with the CC people this aint always the case…

In practice, on the day, at least during the afternoon, quite a number of CC legal observers came down to the anti-bank action as the situation at the CC was clearly calm, although that obviously changed after night fell. Indeed at around 4pm I approached 3 CC Legal observers standing outside the BofE, about 30 metres from the front line near the trashed RBS, and one of them introduced himself as a member of parliament (I forget the name…).

LDMG had 4 or 5 teams of 2/3 people on the anti-bank protests, with several thousand bust cards. However they cant be everywhere at once, especially with the multiple cop lines all over the place – hence the need for people to sort themselves out as a poster above has pointed out. The legal support organisations also need more people to get trained up so they can help on the day.

Remember too that legal observing is hard work – there’s no down time, no drinking, no dancing, the cops give you no preferential treatment at all, indeed by now they know whose side LDMG are on, even if some protesters don’t seem to get it. LDMG usually stands down its observers when darkness falls, because the work becomes impossible in the dark. The CC people did try and carry on til later at the CC.

Anyway, if you got nicked, get advice and support from the info given on these posts and on the London IMC site. Failing that then at least ask around your contacts for details of a sympathetic firm of solicitors. And if you got injured/want to sue, then you should get/have got witness details, medical reports, fotos etc.
Good luck, and don’t give up.
