    Saw about 150 of the electricians at 9am by cannon st. Peaceful marching with banners and a fair few police.

    Police swarming now around Bank junction area, though I don't think any protest is close to it

    Just in case anyone was interested. over 400 of us today marched to King Cross station Site. Met by large amount of police. picketed the site entrance. Blocked off a couple roads and took over the concourse for over an hour. There were lots of unhappy suits. How can people still be making their way to work at 9:10?
    Because some of us don't finish at 4pm - THAT'S WHY .................

    The sparks have been kettled on Blackfriars Bridge to prevent joining up with the students.

    Fantastic, I'm working on London Wall! There's about 4 helicopters above us, probably more media than police like the riots were.

    Actually, you are quite wrong. That lot are with the students. We had proper socialist sparks. Even had a brief airing of the effin red flag from them. Didn't even get to parliament. Very disappointed

    I saw the student protest going past Charing Cross earlier.

    One of them was holding up a placard saying "Burn don't cut" and another had "RIP - Life".  Absolute f*ckwits.

    I know a few people who are on the blacklist. He got his file from the commission and he was on there for refusing to work in an asbestos room, working live and also complaining about facilities.
    It also has the details of every job he has been turned down for because of being on the list. Shocking stuff.

    Apologies to anyone caught up in the traffic surrounding the west end this evening. Park Lane was only shut for two hours
