LSE decorated against inequality & corruption
LSE, London.Tue 25 Apr 2017
and also some small posters looking like £50 notes, which the
protesters
go and fix on the walls of the building as
LSE's security boss looks on
Eventually the police arrive and decide they will arrest the four
despite their offer to clean the wall with the sponges they have brought,
Apparently the LSE have told the police
that they will not let the protesters clean up the alleged damage
Police talk to the four, who all want to be arrested to show up the
LSE and its failure to live up to its stated aims
A police officer handcuffs Roger Hallam who organised this 'Life Not
Money' protest
and one of the others who helped write the slogan on the wlal
Another protester, hands hancuffed behind his back is led away
Roger Hallam tells police he will not resist but will not help them,
and they have to lfit him
and drag him away as he goes limp
and the throw him into the back of a police van
Another protester is more cooperative and has provided police with
some ID
and the officer lets him walk to the van without handcuffs
They search him and put all the contents of his pockets into a bag
before putting him in the van.
Three days later LSE security are still guarding the wall against further
chalking, but there is absolutiely no sign
of any damage. Chalk spray washes off readily with no damage, and no specialist
treatment is required, just a
wipe with a damp sponge. Without a prejudiced magistrate or judge it would
be very hard to sustain a charge of
criminal damage.
