Don't be an acciddental police informer!
The demo today was fantastic - hats off the Youth for showing fresher non-hierarchical tactics than the anarchists could ever come up with. The secret is out: a moving, up for it demo cannot be contained!

I think today finally puts to bed the police lie that this is all some anarchist conspiracy. The students are angry - why aren't the rest of us? Can't wait for the unemployed demo, or the working tax credits demo, lets see the police try and bully those ones if they're as big as that!


A REQUEST to all those people on the demo who were filming on phones or cameras - the temptation will be to post your clips on You Tube, Facebook etc but PLEASE DON'T. This is becoming a major way that the police get the evidence they need to convict people, ruining people's lives just because they were brave enough to stand up for what they believe in.

Even of you didn't film 'hot stuff', footage can still be used to confirm that people were on the demo, to match clothes with faces, and other ways to trip people up.

So, why not write up your experiences on here instead? Remember to not include names, or places, and write from an internet cafe or somewhere other than your pc (NEVER post from your iphone) just to be doubly safe. Bristol Indymedia does not keep your IP address but there are other ways for the state to find out who wrote what.

So, please forward this request as far as possible if you agree with it, so everyone has the info. And hope to hear your stories!

One i heard already is a friend walking down Park Street when people started running past them in the middle of the road. Two student sisters were shouting at the them as they went past "why are you running? whats the hurry!". Someone whizzed past screaming "its a riot!" and the two sisters started screaming "A riot! A riot!"and started bombing down the street themselves! :-)
