Short video from yesterday’s counter-Olympics protest with a few scenes to give you an idea of scale, etc. Doubtless, Locog is claiming you could have fit the whole thing in a phone booth, but I’d say it was a bit bigger than that.
The slightly shaky shots at the beginning are of people who very much appear to be soldiers looking down on the march from the top of a turret. Interesting times we’re living in here.
There were a lot of international journalists present, asking people why they were protesting. They were all wearing their Olympics accreditation cards. It was obvious in their minds at least, something was happening.
