Student education cuts protest 5/12/10

 In response to the coalition government cuts, students arrange to protest against cuts to education spending and increased university tuition fees. A rally in College Green becomes chaotic as protesters run up Park Street followed police on horse back.































The students are kettled on the Triangle and wait peacefully, shouting the odd chant. A popular chant is about burning the politicians. Members of the public are rolling their eyes and raising their eye brows disapprovingly at this.






























The Protesters are marched back down Park street. Various unions have come out with banners to show their support. One banner reads 'Bristol Health Services'.






Kettled again on College Green, some protesters managed to avoid being held captive. After an hour or 2 the officers start letting people out on the premise that they leave the area. Eventually it all comes to an end.
This image highlights a problem I seem to be having with getting the length of legs correct, in particular horse legs.
