Today a rowdy demo involving hundreds of secondary school kids and sixth formers took over the centre of Oxford.
# Convergence of different student wakouts happened at 2pm at Carfax.
# Oxfordshire county council was stormed by a large group of over 100. The rooftop was breached and demands were read aloud. Chaotic scenes. Soon after the police had seized control of the doors the occupiers decided to leave and regroup outside.
# Castle hill was then stormed and briefly occupied.
# The demo then proceeded to Cornmarket where a succession of tax dodging shops were shut down one after the other. Two branches of Vodaphone, a Barclays and a Lloyds tsb. Storming of Lloyds coincided with a dubsteb remix of the music from their advert blasted out on the soundsystem.
# Scuffles with police throughout as people were repeatedly prevented from taking the streets
# The Clarendon Centre and the Westgate shopping centre were rampaged through. Primal vibes.
# Demo finished up in Radcliffe Square. ‘ This is only the beginning’
