On the 1st of April, in response to the G20 summit happening in London, a Climate Camp was held in the heart of the city (Bishop’s Gate) to highlight environmental issues and promote other ways of living outside capitalism. However, the festive carnival turned out in a sort of mice trap when the police force decided to create a kettle for more than 7 hours, people wasn’t allowed to enter or leave the camp anymore, and the riot police started charging against peaceful protesters from 7pm onwards. Hundreds of people inside the kettle decided to continue the peaceful protest, sharing water and food, also a kitchen and a toilet tent were created by people from the camp. After midnight and without any warning, the police started brutally charging and clearing the camp, destroying and hitting anything and anyone on the way. Mainstream media has been reporting on the “peaceful clearing of the area by the police”. This video proves it didn’t quite happened like they say…
