LSE Equality Life Not Money protest

London, UK. Wed 3 May 2017


 

 One of the group starts to write on the wall of Old Building  

 He intends to write 'END INEQUALITY AT THE LSE' 

but is only just starting the third letter when a security man rushes up 

 and grabs his arm

 there is a brief struggle

 

 and then police arrive and arrest him - as he had planned

 

 He tells them he has an injured shoulder and needs to be handled carefully, and they handcuff him as

 requested in front rather than behind his back

 

 

 

 

 The other protesters have joined him and continue the protest as police take him away

 The protesters had deliberately wanted the police to make an arrest as they feel it will embarass the LSE

 management. They also think it unlikely that there will be any convictions as the spray chalk used is designed

 to wipe off with a damp cloth, making the LSE's charge of 'criminal damage' a laughing stock.
