At least two hundred people have been arrested today in disturbances during a march by the National Front in South London. Dozens of police were injured as they battled to keep those opposed to the march from disrupting it. New riot shields and CS gas were deployed to contain the protesters who, in frustration at being unable to prevent the march, turned their violence on the police.
A National Front spokesman said that by marching in an area with a high proportion of West Indian immigrants they were highlighting the issue of crime and standing up for white people.
From Lewisham, South London, this is Alison Clarke for BBC News.
Now get me the fuck out of here and back north of the river. What a dump. Have you got a cloth to wipe my face? Thanks lover. Ye gods, I thought they were going to lynch the bloody NF lot there for a while. Still, fair and balanced reporting eh? Only joking. What? What the hell do you mean we can’t mention the CS gas? No I don’t want to do another fucking take.
