Never been at the front of a protest before, facing riot police.
They wouldn't let me through, without proving I own a boat down there.
Difficult with no signal. Nearest signal over a mile and a half away, there's so many there.
Slight tactical mistake by the police. They're hemmed in, there's a hundred yards and several hundred people between them and their nearest way out, unless they retreat on to boats, so for their sake and the protesters, I hope it doesn't kick off down there,
Another police car with sirens blaring just raced down there though, so I'm not holding out much hope.
Gonna tactically retreat, get my laptop somewhere safe, then get back to the area with some proof and hope I'm able to get through.
quotingJust passed a guy on the phone;

"There's thousands of people down there"
Hmm.
