A tale of two hijacks

Originally published by TawNews11 April 2009

Just over a week now and I'm still trying to construct an accurate overview in my mind of the recent events inLondon.

Arrived there last week (last Tuesday to be precise, 31st March) as part of theRadical Images[1] photographers'collective to document the series of events protesting London's hosting of the G20 summit.

We were particularly interested in the plan to establish a "flash climate camp" on Bishopsgate, outside the EuropeanClimate Exchange, announced some weeks previously by the same folk[2] that had set up Climate Camps at Drax in

Yorkshire (2006), Heathrow (2007), and Kingsnorth in Kent last year.

Setting up a full-fledged campsite on the streets in the heart of London? An entirely delightful notion, and one that Ireally didn't believe could possibly happen until I actually saw it taking shape with my own eyes. A masterpiece ofplanning and networking, totally magnificent and totally impressive.

There were four of us representing our collective (with one "guest") and, split into two teams, we thought we'd be wellset up to get good coverage not just of the camp but also of some of the other events occurring... theG20 Meltdown[3]

for example. Though our principal focus was always, and remained, the climate camp with its message that "Naturedoesn't do bailouts"...

Stopping carbon marketsBecause nature doesn't do bailouts

First the city traders speculated with our homes, jobs and money with disastrous results. Nowthey are speculating with our climate and the very future of life on earth and once again ourgovernments are cheering them on.

By creating a brain-bending system of carbon pollution licenses, fossil fuel companies andtrading firms have found a way to keep on churning out global warming gases and to reap huge

windfall profits at the same time. Meanwhile, the UK government is justifying a third runway atHeathrow and a coal-fired power station at Kingsnorth by saying that these new carbon tradingschemes will magically make all their emissions vanish.

They are handing control of our climate over to the same people and systems that caused thefinancial collapse. All the workable and fair alternatives aren't getting a look-in.

We need to stop this foolishness.

On April 1st the G20 leaders arrive in London. At a time of climate crisis their response to themarket meltdown is emergency loans to car manufacturers, increased spending to encourageconsumption, and bailouts for the very people who got us into this mess - just the thing that willmake the climate crisis worse.

Dont let them get away with it: join our camp in the Square Mile!

Bring a pop-up tent if you've got one, sleeping bag, wind turbine, mobile cinema, action plansand ideas...lets imagine another world.

However, things didn't work out quite as smoothly as planned (on the other hand, when do they ever?).

As mentioned, I arrived in London on Tuesday morning and, after having spent a large part of the day trying to hookup with the others in our collective, and then wandering around the city looking at various sites that were designatedas "locations for action" for the following day, we eventually ended up at the place we'd chosen as our "base" whilst inthe city.

The really curious thing that struck me whilst wandering around London on Tuesday was the marked absence ofpolice! I was expecting the place to be infested with them (particularly given that the G20 protests had actuallystarted on Saturday of the previous week with thePut People First[4] march etc). I was expecting to be stopped,questioned, searched, numerous times. And it just didn't happen... not on the Tuesday anyway. No doubt the streets

were being closely monitored by the ubiquitous CCTV though.

Up with the lark Wednesday morning then, prompted by the notion of it being a good idea to have a wander aroundBishopsgate (location of theEuropean Climate Exchange[5], professing itself to be "the leading marketplace for

trading carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Europe and internationally") to see what reception was being prepared forthe arrival of the campers, announced for half-past-noon exactly. Dwelling upon which, it occurred to me that gettinga whole bunch of people to "swoop in" on a particular location from all points of the compass at exactly the same time

would be quite a miracle in its own right!And our first "stop & search"! Well, more of a "stop and talking to" really, once the van-full of City of London cops hadsatisfied themselves that we actuallywere photojournalists, just as we represented ourselves.

A few police and vans outside the Climate Exchange there, but nothing like the heavy presence I was expecting.Perhaps, like me, they were anticipating that the location of the campsite would be changed at the very last moment.

And just as we were thinking that it all seemed pretty quiet along comes a whole bunch of Critical Mass type cyclists!

Bit more of a mooch around then head for Liverpool Street Station where one of the Meltdown marches was supposedto assemble at 11.00am. Four Meltdown marches had been planned, each starting at a different location and intendedto converge on the Bank of England at midday.Each of the marches was to be led by one of the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" (truly poetic imagery), the one

we'd opted for being led by the Green Horse against Climate Chaos.Seemed the most appropriate for us (given our interest in the Climate Camp) plus its route would take us very nearthe Climate Exchange, putting us in the right place (albeit a bit early) to witness the "swoop".


3/13

Which is pretty much how things worked out, with us finding ourselves milling fairly aimlessly around Bishopsgateagain waiting to see what would happen. And me still not entirely convinced that anything would happen there at all,repeatedly checking my mobile phone in anticipation of the SMS that would announce a last-minute change of venue.

Although admittedly there didseem to be a helluva lot more people also aimlessly wandering around there now. Verycurious.

When suddenly, plonk! And the first tent (at least, I think it was the first tent) goes down... fairly rapidly jumped uponby a nearby bunch of assembled cops. Bit of a scuffle, attempts to drag the tent (with accompanying campers) off tothe side, and a few more cops piling in.


4/13

But all, ultimately, to no avail. For quite suddenly tents were appearing everywhere and it dawned on me that this wasreally happening. We were actually witnessing the setting up of a campsite right in the heart of the city of London!

Wow!

And remarkably, apart from one or two little scuffles, the cops were incredibly restrained. Not what I was expecting atall.

So our little collective separated once more into our pre-arranged teams and off we go, hoping to capture the spirit ofwhat this was all about.

Before too long there's all the facilities of a typical Climate Camp site right there in the street, if somewhatminiaturised. There's a kitchen, toilets, a medics tent, workshops, even live music. In fact, an almost festival-likeatmosphere begins to pervade the place. And it seems that even the cops are getting affected by the spirit, with acouple wandering leisurely around like typical "bobbies on the beat", no-one really taking much notice of them at all.The whole scene was totally bizarre and wonderfully inspiring, and it seemed that everyone was infused with anoptimism that perhaps, this time, the realmessage of the campers might actually get out. An optimism not entirelyunfounded given the armies of media types floating around. And I don't mean alternative media types like myself, but

yer proper mainstream media like.


5/13

But it didn't last. Sadly (and predictably, some cynics may say) a sour note began to creep in. Rumours began to reachus of an "incident" at the Royal Bank of Scotland... apparently some protesters (presumably part of the Meltdownprotest) had smashed the windows or something.

And so began the all-too-familiar tale of the realmessage of the protests being hijacked... by hyped-up tales ofviolence and destruction, paving the way for the cops to switch into their getting-to-be-customary "thug mode" so thatthe story changes from being about the climate and economic crises and instead becomes about the policing of the

various events.

Whilst there's no doubt that the heavy-handed policing of protests is a story that needs to be told, particularly given

its implications for what the future may hold when the worst effects of both climate change and the economicmeltdown begin to bite, at this point in time shouldn't attention really be focussed upon the messages these protestersare desperately trying to get out to people? To all the people who, when those "worst effects" do begin to bite, will bedemanding "why didn't someone warn us?".

And when those same people, in theirturn, take to the streets then they'l l encounter all the horrors of violent policingthat are still, at present, only being tested and perfected. So perhaps, after all, it is the "policing of protests" story thatshould take precedence.

Having done a few circuits of the campsite my "team partner" and I decide to take a stroll along toward the Bank ofEngland to see what all the fuss has been about. Not that we get very far though, shortly encountering a line ofhelmeted cops holding back what appear to be predominantly media types. So back to the campsite.


6/13

And wandering around I noticed someone brandishing a copy of the notoriously biased Evening Standard, with theheadline "Violence sweeps City on Obama's big day" blazoned across the front. Patently untrue of course (at that stageat least and, even when the violence didoccur, retrospectively it appears to have been largely from the police side),

but an indication perhaps of the story the mainstream media were really looking for.

Approaching the end of the afternoon our little collective regroups and, with all seeming to be relatively peacefulagain, decide to retire to a venue some 20 minutes walk away that had been set up as a sort of "media base" forclimate campers, where we could start sorting through some photos for the camp website etc.Early evening and well into this task word reaches us that things seem to be kicking off back at the campsite, so two ofmy companions trot off again to start documenting events, leaving us behind to wrap up the techie stuff.My partner and I follow along some quarter of an hour later... and spend practically the rest of the entire eveningtrying to hook up with our mates.

Without success.


7/13

Whichever way we turn we're confronted by police lines, no-one being allowed either in or out. Many of those linesseemed to serve no obvious purpose whatsoever... just a line of cops strung loosely across an otherwise empty road.

At other times we saw a crowd of folk (protesters presumably, whether campers or not difficult to tell, for by this timeI'd completely lost my bearings) being either pushed back or herded by the cops, with onlookers being held well awayfrom the action. And of course we had to remain constantly mobile ourselves to avoid becoming trapped, a constantlyimminent risk.

Then suddenly from out of nowhere would appear a squad of riot cops trotting along the otherwise practically emptyLondon streets to some unclear destination. It was all incredibly surreal.

Only in the following days did the stories begin to emerge of what was actually going on during that afternoon andevening. Of the unremitting "kettling"; of the brutality of the riot cops against the non-violent campers; and of thedeath of what apppears to have been an innocent bystander apparently at the hands of the police.


8/13

Yet I and my partner saw none of this. We simply couldn't get anywhere even remotely close despite havingcircumnavigated that part of the city what seemed like four or five times. And curiously (some might even saysuspiciously) it appeared that many of the folk who, like us, were trying unsuccessfully to get near to where things

were happening were also, like us, photographers! Not that I'm suggesting the police would deliberately keep themedia away of course. What reason could they possibly have for wanting to do that? So its "draw your ownconclusions" time.

With hindsight I have somewhat mixed feelings about that evening. The photographer in me bemoans the thought oflost opportunities. The media activist in me regrets not having been on hand to help document the excesses of thecops. But the coward in me is rather thankful that somehow I'd missed it all.

At one point we hooked up with a couple of legal observers who, like us, were trying to rejoin the protesters, and hungaround with them for a while in case they needed photographers for anything.

At another point we stop and chat to a couple of guys who'd somehow managed to get away from the campsite; I doan impromptu roadside interview in which they relate to us how the girlfriend of one of them was still kettled with aload of other protesters. And how they'd witnessed the appearance of some sort of armoured vehicles. It was this lastthat had really caused me to perk up, prompting me to do a sort of formal recorded interview for it was the first timeI'd heard mention of such things and I thought it worth noting. Old news now of course, since their appearance thefollowing day, paraded before all the assembled mainstream media.

Having at least managed to maintain intermittent mobile phone contact with the rest of our crew, a brief conferencewith them leads to the concensus that us two aren't really achieving anything very useful at all just wandering aroundlike a couple of lost sheep. So we find ourselves, getting on toward midnight, back at Liverpool Street Station where

we manage to grab some much needed refreshment. And then make our way back toward our "home from home".

Where another story's beginning to unfold. For this is where we first hear of someone (later identified as IanTomlinson) having died during the day's protests.The initial story put out by some of the mainstream media, apparently based on a statement by the police, was thatthe man had died from natural causes. Though some of the protesters that had made their way back to this "base"

were already beginning to dispute that and lively discussion was fluctuating between an as yet unfocussed desire to"do something" and a rather more reasoned desire to get further information. Which, from a brief skim of the news-sites, seemed entirely absent. But, resulting from a few incoming phone and text messages, it began to appear that thepolice may well have been complicit in the man's death.

The rest of our crew finally arrive back and we then spend the next few hours until some stupid o'clock in the morningchatting and trying to get some photos onto Indymedia. And planning for the following day.

Seems that the others of our little collective had arranged to return homeward about lunchtime Thursday whichmeant I'd have a few hours on my todd so to speak, my plan being to stay throughout the day and think about makingmy way home in the early evening.My original intention was to cover the protest at the Excel Centre in the Docklands but, on reflection, it occurred tome that it'd probably be almost impossible to get anywhere handy given the massive security cordon that was almostcertainly to be in place. And I'd just about had enough of wandering around unsuccessfully trying to breach policelines.Then there's mention of a "Memorial Demo" being organised for outside the Royal Exchange at about lunchtime tomark the death of Mr Tomlinson (although at that time he still hadn't been identified as such) and call for anindependent enquiry into the circumstances. "That'll do me" thinks I.

Which gives us all a relatively free morning so we say farewell to our temporary home and head out in quest ofbreakfast. And get stopped on exiting the building for a rather more thorough "stop & search".Cops were everywhere! Every exit road from the building was blocked by them and, aside from the "stop & search"routine, they were clearly trying to get as much information as possible about what was happening inside. What were

we doing there? Who else was in there? How many? Etc etc. Naturally we were all entirely unforthcoming and,

possibly due to our Press credentials, they didn't push too hard.

But we heard later that some hours after our departure the place was raided, along with another space that had beenset up elsewhere.

I arrive outside the Royal Exchange a bit before midday and, clearly, something's "going on". For already some sort ofprotest or demonstration's in progress, but I can't even begin to get close because of all the assembled mainstreammedia. Doubting that this is actually the Memorial Demo (still a bit too early for that) I completely fail to find out

what it is all about and instead wander around the Bank of England opposite and snap a few pics of what I take to bethe RBS that had been damaged yesterday. A not unreasonable conclusion given the line of mounted police on guard

by a boarded-up window with a glazier's van parked outside.


9/13

Returning to the Royal Exchange the assembled crowd had swollen considerably so, although still confused aboutprecisely who was protesting about what, I assume that somewhere in this lot is the Memorial Demo, a view borne out

by lots of folk pinning messages of remembrance to some hoarding.

Lots of FIT around too (the notorious police Forward Intelligence Teams), no doubt collecting more info for theirnasty little database.


10/13

The whole event seemed to be entirely peaceful, though from a distance I did spot one little scuffle. But by the time I'dgot to the scene it was all over and done and with no appearance of it having escalated, or likely to. No reason, inother words, for the cops to become overbearing. And yet that's exactly what happened!First indications I got that something was "going down" was observing the cops beginning to form an ever tighter linearound the Royal Exchange. Which is generally a good sign to start moving around. Which is what I did. Movingaround in fact to, coincidentally, just outside the slowly coalescing police line. It then became fairly apparent that thecops were also forming lines by the corners of nearby streets, thereby preventing more people from joining the demooutside the Exchange (which was now beginning to look increasingly like a "kettle").

More milling around when suddenly, to passionate jeers of "shame on you" what should trundle into view but aconvoy of the police armoured vehicles I'd first heard about the previous evening!"What the hell is this" think I, "we're not in a war zone". Obviously its a PR exercise on the part of the cops, laid onspecially for the massed mainstream media as a demonstration of who's really in control of the streets. And to whatextent was this ploy intended to provoke the demonstrators into (certainly) hostility, and possibly even aggression?

Were the cops once again seeking to provoke the crowd into doing something that would justify their next move,

following (it seemed) only moments later?


11/13

By now I was thoroughly rattled. Not rattled nervous, but rattled angry. Just where the hell do the cops get offthinking that a peaceful demonstration such as I'd been witnessing justifies such an arrogant display of brute force?Not in the actuality of course, but in the implied threat. Were they reallythatdetermined to trigger a replay of the PollTax Riots?

Hats off then to the common sense of the demonstrators who, despite their voluble outburst, managed to largelyretain their calm.

Well, the next ploy was, moments later, the appearance of mounted police, practically charging into those of usoutside the kettle, ostensibly to clear the streets but in fact to create a no-go zone around the Royal Exchange. Or so it

seemed.

Narrowly avoiding getting trampled by the shod hooves I, along with a load of other photographer-types, retreated to

the nearby pavement just sufficiently far enough away to be unable to get a clear view of what was happeningimmediately outside the Exchange, that the cops had now well and truly kettled.


12/13

It seems to me that this is all disturbingly of a piece with the events of the previous day, the full details of which haveonly been emerging through eyewitness accounts in the days following the end of this round of G20 protests.

Accounts such as...

Trapped and beaten by police in Climate Camp[6]Worried about my daughter caught up in Police Violence[7]Police Brutality last Thursday at Bank - G20[8]

The press were kept out[9]G20: The police ruined a peaceful protest[10]The siege of Climate Camp[11]a conviction can be a cover-up[12]

and

I still blame police brutality[13]

(Links assembled by Kirk, to whom thanks)

Then there are further even more worrying eyewitness accounts on the "What I saw" blog[14].

Having posted a selection of the photos I took over the two days toFlickr[15], one visitor to the set commented...

"The fact is, there was only one incident of violence by the police on that day - and you know thatis the truth because there would otherwise have been more uproar - which is a stark contrast tothe behaviour of the protestors which I also witnessed - criminal damage, possession of anoffensive weapon, causing a public obstruction... The police were remarkably tolerant and youknow it. Many countries would not tolerate the blocking of a major street, yet I didn't see anypolice beating them up. They could have, but they didn't. Maybe you should actually look at theevents of that day. You were there, yet you don't seem to have opened your eyes."

Such a naive, and borderline insulting, view almost didn't merit a response. On the other hand, was it naive, orwillfully distorted? Consequently I felt obliged to reply...

"I'm not entirely certain that's a totally accurate representation. Not, at least, from the feedbackI've been getting. No doubt in the days and weeks to come a more complete picture will begin toemerge."

and of course the foregoing referenced accounts bear out my response totally.

Now put those incredibly disturbing accounts (though, it has to be said, none of them hold many surprises for folkthat had attended, for example, the Climate Camp last year[16] at Kingsnorth in Kent) into context of the remarks bySuperintendent David Hartshorn, head of the Met polices Public Order branch, quoted in The Guardian[17], about aso-called "Summer of Rage", and theamazing "predictions"[18] by the police that "1 April would be 'very violent', andsenior commanders have insisted that they are 'up for it, and up to it', should there be any trouble."

Clearly then the police were determined that, by fair means or foul, the G20 protests needed to justify their earlierwild utterances and, because the protesters proved to be a fairly peaceful non-violent bunch (as anyone with the leastfamiliarity with the activist community and, more specifically, climate campers, could have far more accuratelypredicted), well, the cops seemingly had to resort to foul means.

The increasingly and unnecessarily violent tactics used by the police in dealing with protests and demonstrations ispersuading me that we now have a police force that is virtually out of control, seeing themselves as accountable to no-one and above the Law that they are supposed to uphold.

As if to underline this point we have, finally, the tragic death of Ian Tomlinson to consider.The full facts have still yet to be established, but on the basis of what we already know from video footage andeyewitness accounts it seems clear that, at the very least, the police were entirely negligent in their "duty of care" tohim, miserably and unaccountably failing to promptly identify him as someone in need of medical assistance, despitethis repeatedly being drawn to their attention.

That such disregard for life and the welfare of the community they're supposed to serve has become entrenched in thepolice force seems to me to be a cause for the gravest concern.

Nor can this be spun as an isolated incident, a single officer getting "carried away" for, although it appears that MrTomlinson was either pushed or struck by a single officer, that officer was accompanied by numerous others, all of

whom appear to have behaved quite nonchalantly throughout the incident, hence my suspicion that such an attitudehas now become entrenched.

13/13

Somewhere in all of this the realmessages of the G20 protests have become rather lost.

The somewhat mixed messages of the Meltdown:

"Lost your home? Lost your job? Lost your pension? This party is for you!Capitalism has been heating up our world for years, melting the icecaps, burning up therainforests, pushing the planet to tipping point. Now we're going to put the heat on them. At the

London Summit , the G20 ministers are trying to get away with the biggest April Fools trick of alltime. Their tax-dodging, bonus-guzzling, pension-pinching, unregulated free market world's inmeltdown, and those fools think we're going to bail them out. They've gotta be joking!"

And the rather clearer message of the Climate Campers, that the present system of carbon trading is fundamentallyflawed, and our very survival as a species may be at stake unless the governments of the world act together now toeffectively reduce carbon emissions.

These messages address big issues... big importantissues. Yet, once again, they seem to have been hijacked. Hijackedtwice in fact.First by the incident at the Royal Bank of Scotland that played to the mainstream media's appetite for a "sensational"story... feeding directly into the spin that had previously been put out by the cops and gained momentum under themelodramatic "Summer of Rage" banner.

And secondly, and far more tragically, by the death of Ian Tomlinson that once again thrusts into the spotlight thewhole murky issue of the policing of protests.

And this so soon after the publication of the Joint Select Committee on Human Rights' seventh ReportDemonstrating respect for rights? A human rights approach to policing protest![19]
