Organisers of a huge protest against the Government's public spending cuts tonight hailed the demonstration a "fantastic success" after hundreds of thousands of people joined the biggest event of its kind for over 20 years.
Between 400,000 and 500,000 teachers, nurses, firefighters, council and NHS workers, other public sector employees, students, pensioners and campaign groups from across the UK marched through central London to a rally where union officials and Labour leader Ed Miliband condemned the "brutal" cuts in jobs and services.
Violence flared away from the rally when a group of hundreds of activists, not connected with the union protest, clashed with police. They set off fireworks, threw paint and attacked shops in Oxford Street, Regent Street and Piccadilly.
Topshop and HSBC had their windows smashed, while paint and glass bottles were thrown at a Royal Bank of Scotland branch.
Covering their faces with scarves, they fought with police and disrupted traffic, throwing lightbulbs filled with ammonia at officers and lighting a fire.
Nine arrests were made and some police officers were injured.

Student Protesters Attacked Car Containing Prince Charles and Camilla

Protesters also managed to set fire to the Trafalgar Square Christmas tree. I see all this as positive. I am more concerned about what happens in countries like the US where people are all asleep and uninterested in protesting. Resistance can slow down or even turn around the powers that be. Where there is no resistance, you become a nice pavement to be run over on.
Besides, this is what happens when you have your first wife murdered.
From BBC.
A car carrying Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall was attacked by protesters but the couple were unharmed, Clarence House has said.
Protesters kicked, threw paint and smashed a window of the car which was travelling along Regent Street in central London.
A spokeswoman said the couple later attended the Royal Variety performance as scheduled.
