STOP THE HUNT
Hey y’all. As you might have read The Telegraph is organising a hunt for the protesters captured on film at the riots in Millbank 30 yesterday. They are asking people to sent names to studentriots@telegraph.co.uk if they recognize people. I got a message on FB urging to clog up their the Torygraph’s mailboxes. I thought to send “I see Nick Cleggs Conscience reflected in the protesters eyes. Lock him up!”. But any other fun/crazy/nuts/mad mail will do! Anybody up for some cyber-activism? Join in! And invite your friends to the FB event (if you got FB)
UPDATE: The Daily Mail has “identified” several protestors and demonized them. You can spam them on news@dailymail.co.uk
Update2: as always The Sun Couldn’t stay behind. They are looking for the bare-chested student. You can spam them on exclusive@the-sun.co.uk

The Protesters’ Toolkit
Because obviously many at the Millbank riots yesterday didn’t know/read this. Next time be prepared!
The first thing to consider is a stout pair of boots with decent ankle support and a rugged sole. You can still retreat at good speed with a moderate injury to almost any other part of the body, but the most minor of injuries to the ankle especially or a mild injury to the toes can seriously hamper you. A thick pair of socks worn outside a thin pair of socks will offer the greatest protection from blisters.
Carry no weapon or you’ll add Going Equipped to any other charges. You won’t need it anyway.
Carry clear fluids and a food rich in complex carbohydrates. Flapjack is ideal for this purpose.
Your bottom half should be clad in tough and sensible jeans. No tight drainpipes or baggy flares.
Bring a waterproof top layer for winter or the rainy months as you may be kettled outside for some time.
Leather gloves will protect your hands from splinters and reduce your forensic footprint.
Protect your identity as the police will make arrests regardless of innocence or guilt. A hood and scarf work well.
Don’t wear bright colors or you’ll be memorable. Black or grey are best.
Don’t break the law. If you must break the law then don’t be seen doing it!
Knocks and scrapes are common, so a plaster or two may be useful. Whoever has the Savlon is everyone’s mate.
Consider the weight you’re carrying and reduce it if possible. Favour a rucksack over a satchel but don’t fasten the crossbelts. Long coats are impractical generally but a leather coat/jacket can be used to cross barbed wire safely.
Remember the rule of No Comment. If nicked, give the cops your name, address, date of birth but answer everything else with “no comment”.
Finally, look out for the comrade to your left and your right. Unity is strength and we fight as one!
Prime ministerial debates belong to the voters, not the politicians.
After all, debates, like the election itself, belong to the voters. They don’t belong to the politicians.
Doesn’t the addition participation and voters sum up to Democracy?
