Protest: 4 of 5

After running through the protests and trying to get on as many cameras as is humanly possible, we paused outside the Brighton Centre for a bit of Anti War chanting, a sea of protesters was greeted from the centre by a wave of photographers at the top…
However for me the two best things about the protest were the most random. Firstly, walking back from the protest, we overheard a northern sounding reporter on the phone, the conversation went a little bit like this “ Yeah I’m alright. Except for the fact I drove for five and a half F******* hours for a protest that lasted 20 F****** minutes. A comment that definitely deserved to be on tourette-ical moments, if nothing else.

There was a massive Police presence in Brighton during the week, with at least three officers on each street corner, towards the conference centre and Dyke Road was constantly patrolled. and on the front their seemed to be more police than protestors!”
