I'm hearing more and more mutterings online about the so-called Royal Wedding 'protest' that is being anticipated. The Black Anarchists and other youtube activists are claiming they will be going to London on the 29th April to protest along and perhaps disrupt the route that the bridal couple will take.
If they carry this out, or have incited others to do something destructive or disruptive, there is going to be a whole new kind of trouble.
Instead of just police officers to contend with, the protesters will be surrounded by citizens there to celebrate the event. Many of these citizens will very likely have made the pilgrimage to line the funeral route of the Groom's mother or laid flowers at Kensington palace and as such, will be possessed of a certain zeal towards the royal couple on their big day. It will be rather difficult for police to offer protection to any anarchists that find themselves surrounded by wedding celebrants after throwing something or even shouting something they shouldn't.
I feel sad that the footage of the day will probably be marred by violent clashes and ask what it will achieve other than gain more notoriety for a handful of angry young men.
