For the first part of the demo the workers bloc - which included a variety of anarchist, anti-fascist, anti-authoritarian and social centres groups and individuals - was joined by the G20 Meltdown's "Horsefolk of the Apocalypse", and it was up to 1000 people strong. <br /><br />But later on, the G20 Meltdown contingent somehow stayed behind and a big gap was created, which effectively separated the demonstration in two large marches. I am not sure how this happened, but from that moment on, the bloc was reduced to some 400 people with a clear anarchist flavour all the way to Hyde park's speakers corner. At 3pm, a small sound system with an open mic was set up away from the main rally for people to make their speeches which went on until around 5pm.<br /><br />Contrary to mainstream and corporate media unsubstantiated scaremongering campaign claiming the usual "anarchist groups bound for violence", the demo passed completely peacefully, and with a quite low key police operation. Having said that, the ever present FIT teams and a couple of riot police vans followed the bloc throughout the day, and there are reports of one arrest at Speakers Corner</p> 2009-03-29T18:23:52+00:00 920 promoted maqui-px false
