Dec 2014 - my london diary

	Students Occupy Universities UK Woburn House, Tavistock Square, London. Wed 3 Dec 2014
	The protest gets a lot noisier inside - but the decorations are still untouched I decide to leave at this point as I want to go elsewhere and don't want to be locked in Other photographers have now arrived. I take a few pictures looking in through the windows and am about to catch a bus when a police car speeds up the road with its siren on and screeches to a halt. Two officers get out and run to the door, only to find the students are holding it locked. They step back and await reinforcements Meanwhile, students bring up tables to jam the doors, and pile up more in a barricade It seems a little pointless as they do not seem to be blocking the other entrance the police could use
	More police arrive and stop protesters who try to come in Inside - as I can see through the side windows - students are discussing what to do and some practice linking arms to make removing them more difficult. It reminds me of the sixties, but I decide it's time to leave
