Students March to Defend Democracy

London. Sat 31 Aug 2019



 As people slowly left the rally a group of protesters including many students formed up behind two banners

 from the student Climate Strike and I joined them. Other groups marched into the West End.

 

 'No coup de twat' and the inevitable smoke flare

 A woman marches with a poster of Amber Rudd and the message 'Hastings says SHAME ON YOU'

 More smoke as the march moves off

 and goes down Whitehall Place to avoid blocking by police at the top of Whitehall

 

 

 

 and then up Craven St to the Strand.

 

 

 The march turned on to Waterloo Bridge

 

 

 and walked to the centre of the bridge

 

 Where they sat down, blocking the bridge

 There was a lot of shouting slogans in defence of democracy

 and some short speeches

 

 

 

 

 

A few police had marched with them and stood watching, but there were too few to clear the road. I decided I was tired and it was time to leave and walked to Waterloo Station as more police were arriving.
