Just back from London. The demo was very peaceful where we were, whole families there, a nice atmosphere, people trying to put litter in overflowing bins, all ery respectful.. The anarchists and the breakaway groups as far as I'm concerned were not part of the march, they had their own agenda. I feel they hijacked it to do the most damage while the police were elsewhere. Wallies.

It was amazing to see SO many people. We joined the march about 12.30ish when it was already in flow. We went to Hyde park listened to a lot of the speakers and left; people were still coming in, Traffalgar Square was still packed and there was still a massive march! Amazing.

I hope the media can keep some focus on just how good natured the main march was and how peacful it was. It is amazing that so many people came to have their voices heard and that there was no trouble.

They didn't focus on the peaceful side in the news here, but I hope they did over there...

The BBC did reapeatedly say that nearly half a million people protested peacefully but they said this while showing pictures of the rioters! Grand.

I so dislike people like that, they hijacked the march....it wasn't about attacking police or banks or anything...it was meant to be peaceful. The police are one of the groups most affected by the cuts. I'm a bit annoyed....can you tell?

Well I at least hope the march and the protests will make Cameron change his mind...
