It seems to be going off quietly at the minute.

IndyMedia seem to be covering it quite well. What I want to know is: Are the people in Tranfalgar Square actually penned in, as the BBC news report just shown seemed a bit... vague on that detail, and just showed one line of police blocking one road.

It seems to be pretty peaceful.

No doubt the police will put that down to their sterling actions. As opposed to their inability to Section 60 people, because they all knew about it and dispersed as soon as it looked like happening. Apparently they tried to S60 the Critical Mass earlier... like that's going to happen, who's faster, guy on a bike or copper in riot gear?

Just to let everybody know that the barbelith demo went really well and at the time that I left (about 6 o'clock) people were taking pictures of the Placards that had been created by the 'liths that took part but also by people that we encouraged on the streets to write their own personal 'statement' or whatever they wanted to say...there were some very funny moments/placrards and particular mention has to go to Lyra for the energy that he showed for the entire event, we succesfuly created our own temporary autonomous zone, thanks to everyone who took part and brought picnic/tea-party stuff, we made a great point and everyone contributed, totally united within our own personal opinions, and a great time was had by all,

let me know when the photos come out...
