This sounds like something we should be following. It's from the Telegraph, a sheet with multiple axes to grind, mostly right wing, admittedly. Even so, 250k protesters is a big number. Police fought mobs of masked thugs who pelted officers with ammonia and fireworks loaded with coins. The anti-capitalists started fires and smashed their way into banks, hotels and shops, bringing chaos to Britain’s busiest shopping street. The violence began as Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, addressed a TUC rally of at least 250,000 peaceful protesters in Hyde Park who had marched from Westminster to demonstrate against government spending cuts. As he spoke, an apparently co-ordinated attack began on shops and police in Oxford Street as a mob tried to storm into shops including Topshop, BHS and John Lewis. MPs and retailers said the scenes damaged Britain’s reputation around the world.
