	3 Cosas Defy London University Protest Ban Senate House, University of London. Thu 24 Oct 2013
	There were protests too about the University filming protesters from a first floor balcony The protest leaders confer ULU Vice President Daniel Cooper made a closing speech but was interrupted before he could finish by the arrival of another group of police who looked as if they intended to kettle the protest, though there were far to few of them to be successful and many of the protesters simply walked through or around the police line Police regrouped and made another attempt to confine the protesters, who were now trying to leave Protesters argued with polilce
	But eventually just walked through the police line The police attempted to stop some of the protesters, though other police were shouting 'Let them through' It wasn't at all clear what the police were trying to do, and it was obviously going to fail in any case Eventually police stopped trying to let the protest end Protesters pushed rubbish bins to make a police advance harder, but police simply regrouped and marched away, at last realising that their presence was only inflaming the situation and prolonging the protest. After a brief celebration in the street outside SOAS the protest dispersed.
