Jun 2013 - my london diary

	J11 Carnival against Capitalism West End, London. Tue 11 Jun 2013
	Police vans on Regent St. Other streets around all had police vans, and they also had 2 double-decker buses I rejoined the protest which was still taking place at Piccadilly Circus As it set off down Piccadilly A police officer holds out his hand to stop me approaching. I get glimpses through the ring of police at what is going on inside the circle, with two officers laying into a man on the ground, apparently enjoying beating him Eventuall I get close enough to hold up my camera and take a picture inside
	but am being ordered all the while to move back Finally I went down to ground level and shot between the legs of two officers, but the beating had ended. An officer threatens a protester and a legal observer takes notes Black-clad protesters and police on a Mayfair corner where another arrest is taking place with police surrounding annd roughly handling a protester
