Some 400,000 protesters - according to the TUC's own estimate - joined the March for the Alternative, from London's Embankment to Hyde Park where they were addressed by Ed Miliband among others. A small minority were bent on violence, carrying the black and red anarchist flag and hiding their faces. Photo: Dan Kitwood

Fucking morons.

What does a 1 day sing and dance and speeches by the likes of Miliwank and Barber achieve?

Out of all leftist groups, anarchists really do get the rawest deal by the Capitalist press. Which says a lot about the effectiveness of anarchist tactics, actually. We should all aspire to replace orderly marches with anarchic demonstrative tactics..

I'm not an Anarchist, but I'm also not a fan of peaceful marches - so I'll take you up on 'cocktails'. :)

Lol'd.

I'm all for peaceful demonstration, but this shit just looks fun. I heard the demonstrators attacked a children's' hospital, though.

They say a revolution without dancing, it not one worth having :)

This to me sounds like textbook capitalist propaganda - either made up, or a false flag attack by police posing as rioters.
