London Month – Part 2 – Prot...

London has been a great battleground over the years for all kinds of protests and marches. Poll tax, student fees, CND & anti war, West Bank. Mainly peaceful but always passionate about their cause being heard. These gatherings  have always fascinated me, and how it takes one single moment or person to turn a mainly peaceful and carnival atmosphere  into arrests, violence and criminal damage.
