Class War protest Queen's speech

Parliament Square, London. Wed 27 May 2015

  

 
 Class War supporters meet in Westminster, but the streets are already too crowded to watch the Queen arrive

 On an Underground entrance in Parliament St

 Class War looking for a suitable place to display banners

Police stop a couple who are holding a rolled up banner, and they turned them away and followed them for the
next hour or two. Adam who failed to get elected to Parliament for Westminster wore a large orange wig.

 Class War manage to display their 'Political Leaders' banner for a minute or two before

 police come over

 and force them to take it down, threatening arrest

 They discuss it with an officer

 who takes a look at it

 
 
 

and tells them if he sees it again he will arrest them 

But this time Stan walks away with the banner. The police already have one in Bethnal Green police station! 

Police and a heritage warden gather on the grass in the centre of Parliament Square and look towards Class War who are now here 

But they have come to arrest two other people 

One has a video camera and the other is holding, but not displaying a poster. They tell the police correctly
that they have committed no offence, but the police decide to arrest them anyway. Just in case.
