private and corporate clients, we know what is important to you when you book a transfer with any private car company. All our drivers are fully vetted to ensure your safety and a first class experience.
We believe that our customers' expectations should be met from the moment they make their private car booking until the point at which we drop them off safely at their final destination, whether that be with a

Every day, we at REAL Transfers strive to make a positive impression on the people that use our luxury car service. We believe that quality should be reflected by our drivers' appearance, how they behave and how their vehicles are presented and maintained. Our company is founded upon three core principles:
Trust means being a reliable, safe, trustworthy, responsible taxi service and always being there when we say we will for our clients.
Excellence means providing a high quality luxury service, being totally customer focused, professional, and striving to be the best we can be.

working as one team to support our customers and each other, listening to
feedback so that we can improve our luxury taxis, and being committed always to

I was quite tired my first journey and slept, but on my return to Heathrow enjoyed a lovely conversation with Mustafa. A very efficient, kind, and intuitive driver who senses when you can talk and when you can't.
I called the company directly to arrange my transfer from Heathrow to Bristol and back. My phone conversation was as pleasant and seamless as the transfer experience itself.
I will use REAL Tranfers for all my future trips to England.
You can not go wrong with this level of professionalism.

Daniel was great! He was actually early. We had a wonderful visit on our drive into town, even swinging by Buckingham Palace along the way. Thank you for the excellent service. Mary V, CA US
We were going to use valet parking at Gatwick but as they had moved from the original multi-storey to a temporary site due to renovations, we decided to try Real. The communications by phone and email was great. Both drivers too and from the airport were on time, smart, very friendly and professional throughout. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this company and will definitely use them again!. Aaron M, GB
I used this car service to pick up my elderly parents . Driver was on time very professional .

We were picked up as arranged and headed for Southampton docks. The eight seater car was immaculate and all our luggage was accommodated which had been my main concern. The driver was so helpful and pleasant and he even had bottles of water in case we were thirsty. His appearance was also immaculate and nothing was too much trouble. We also used them on the return journey.
I found Real Transfers very professional and a pleasure to deal with and would not hesitate
in using them again and also recommending them. A definite 5! Linda C, GB

Outstanding day spent on the Full Day Tour of London.this was our 1st trip to London & the traffic along would have done us in ; not to mention trying to find the places we wanted to see.Our driver ' Sayed was outstanding. He was knowledgeable about London's history so he could educate us about the places that we visited rather than just drive us there. He also was very personable & easy to engage in conversation so it made the heavy traffic much easier to tolerate.Thanks Sayed for a great day & I am very thankful that I found Real Transfers for the terrific service that they provide.

Oh My God, They're Back Again!September 18, 2010
Yes, I did use a line from a Backstreet Boys song in my title. Deal with it.
I went to Puck Drop today. Hockey is back my friends!
– Got to the arena at about 930 and found seats in Section 105. I know it's supposed to be cold in the arena, but holy moses, it was cold in the arena. I was wearing uggs, jeans & a sweatshirt and I was still cold. I wish I would have brought gloves as my hands were freeeeeeezing.
– The seats in this section (or maybe just my row) looked like they could use a good steam cleaning. They were kind of spotted and gross looking.
– For every one well behaved and considerate child I saw, there had to be at least three hellions. The worst offenders were the woman who sat in the row in front of me and let her three children (all under the age of 6 or so) use the two rows as their own personal jungle gym. She was trying to keep them under control, but it really wasn't working. Thank god she left before the jersey unveiling or I would have been angry with her little monsters.
– During the practice session, Lindy called huddles repeatedly to explain plays in the whiteboard. The players all look like Lindy is attempting to explain nuclear physics to them rather than basic hockey plays.
– The Adult Street Hockey tournament was going on outside the arena. The best team uniform that I saw was worn by a group of gentleman who called themselves the Buffalo Rangers. Each of their sweaters had a departed Sabre on the back: Kennedy, LaFontaine & Drury. These guys get the award for both creativity & snark.
– I saw a woman wearing a number 28 jersey with Goose on the nameplate. Is that fair or foul? (Or is that fowl? :::rimshot:::)
At one point, Gaustad and Myers (I think) were standing at the bench entrance in their undergear and watching the practice. One word from Lindy and they turned tail and ran back into the locker room. It was pretty funny, like they got scolded by dad and were headed to their room to serve out their punishment. Another player briefly came out, munching on a banana, but soon left.
At least I THINK this is Goose and Myers. Suggestions welcome on whom else it could be. Updated to say that I've been told that it's Kassian. Thanks Mike!
– Lindy was quite vocal during the drills, with Roy-Z, Montador and Gerbe getting some name attention.
– There was Pominville graffiti in ladies room. I'm sure whoever thought it was a great idea to write Pominville's name in a heart in a ladies bathroom stall clearly never thought it through, that the object of her affection would never get to see her adoration for himself.
– The smell of pizza & hot dogs at 10am is kind of repulsive. Same thing with the overly yeasty smell of beer fresh from the tap. But if that's your thing who am I to judge?
– Montador blocked a shot and stayed down on the ice on all fours for a bit, then moved to the bench to shake it off. That shot looked like it hurt.
– Can someone please tell me who was the other player skating in the red practice sweaters with Gerbe & Grier? My eyes are horribly bad and not having numbers on the back of the practice sweaters was NOT helping matters. Whoever it was had nice chemistry with the other two. (On a random note, I was typing notes on my iPod, and Apple consistently wants to change Gerbe's name to Herbert. I feel like that's a nickname in waiting.)
I know the red guy is someone completely obvious, but it's annoying me that I can't figure out who it is!
– Has Lindy always made players do push-ups on the ice after drills?
At one point, there were four or five different players doing push-ups on the ice.
– While the Zamboni was prepping to come out, the coaches were "helping" to remove the pucks from the ice by flipping them into a bucket with their sticks. Their aim…not so good.
They looked to be having a great time doing this, until the Zamboni appeared and ruined the fun.
– The new sweaters look sweet. It's so good to see the white sweaters back out on the ice this year. I hope this isn't a one year only thing, and that the slug is dead and buried for good.
Even the 'Tooth got in on the fun!
Staffy! He better come down with a massive case of contractyearitis, or his time in Buffalo could be coming to an end.
None of my other sweater reveal photos came out that great, so if you want to see more, visit the gallery on sabres.com. (And someone please explain why Pommers always has a "where am I" look on his face.)
– Watching the scrimmage after the reveal was fun. It was actual hockey played by actual hockey players! Who cares if nothing but pride and a spot on the team is on the line. For the fans, it was great to see.
– Nice nod to history with the names of the two teams for the scrimmage.
Here we have species Crunchious Goaltenderous in his natural environment.
– All in all it was a good day. I did buy a new t-shirt at the Sabres store (the blue one with the logo script) and a set of fridge magnets. The cynical part of me knows that the team is making money hand over fist today because of the new gear, but the stuff does look great.

|Jump to DAY 1
|• DAY 1: Hike in to lower Terror Basin from Goodell Creek trailhead (about 6 1/2 hours).
|Jump to DAY 2
|• DAY 2: Climb the SOUTH FACE OF INSPIRATION (5.8, III, 7,880ft+) and the WEST RIDGE OF WEST MCMILLAN SPIRE (Class 3, 8,000ft+).
|Jump to DAY 3
|• DAY 3: Cross the upper Barrier and climb DEGENHARDT (low 5th, 8,000ft+) and THE PYRAMID (Class 3, 7,920ft+); descend to a camp in Crescent Creek Basin.
|Jump to DAY 4
|• DAY 4: Climb STODDARD (NORTH) BUTTRESS OF TERROR (5.8, III-IV, 8,151ft). Little did we know that this day would be the beginning of a 5-day epic climbing accident story (described in this TR).
|Jump to DAY 5
|• DAY 5: Donn and I hike out along Barrier approach (6.5 hours), while Jason is stuck on the north face of Mt. Terror in a snow storm, and Steve is in the hospital after a bad fall.
|Jump to DAYS 6-8
|• DAYS 6-8: Jason spends a total of 4 nights on the north face of Mt. Terror until the weather breaks enough to allow him to be airlifted from the mountain.
The Picket Range is one of the most rugged areas of the North Cascades. Although the difficulty of the climbing is often moderate, the routes are committing and remote, and any mishap can turn deadly. This fact became all too real when on July 5, a climbing accident occurred on the Stoddard buttress of Mt. Terror. A stretch of bad weather worsened the situation, leading to a 5-day rescue operation, which ultimately ended in success due to a series of well-thought decisions and the dedication of the rescue team.
There were four of us in the climbing party: Donn Venema, Jason Schilling, Steve Trent, and me (Steph Abegg). All of us are experienced climbers, and have made several previous excursions into the rugged Picket Range. The first three days of our 6-day trip had been wildly successful, during which we had climbed the South Face of Inspiration, West McMillan Spire, Degenhardt, and The Pyramid. On Day 4 we started off on our last major climb of our trip: the Stoddard Buttress on the north side of Mt. Terror. This is when the accident occurred.
The following trip report gives photos and details of our successful climbs and then the 5-day climbing rescue operation that followed. The full story of the climbing rescue is provided after the photos at the end of the trip report.

(We had planned on climbing Wild Hair Crack and Frenzelspitz on Day 5, but now we doubted this would happen given a forecast for a weather system moving in July 6.) The Stoddard Buttress is one of the longest and most committing classic lines in the Pickets, and we were excited for the climb.
We left our camp in Crescent Creek at dawn, traversed through the Ottohorn-Himmelhorn col, and reached the base of Mt. Terror at around 8am. It was not long before we began simulclimbing up the buttress, taking a relaxed pace to enjoy what promised to be a sunny and warm summer day in the Pickets. Donn and Jason formed one rope team, and Steve and I formed the other rope team. Steve and I were the leading team.
The accident occurred at 10:30am, shortly after we had traversed around a sharp prow about 1/3 of the way up the route. Steve and I had switched leads, and Steve was leading the way up low fifth class ledges back onto the buttress crest. I had just left the belay and begun simulclimbing when I heard a yell above me. I looked up. I think the first thing I saw was a climbing shoe flying through the air. Then, I saw the giant rock and Steve silhouetted against the sky. The next thing I knew I was jerked upwards as Steve hit the end of the rope. He had fallen about 60 feet. Unhurt and surprised, I immediately began calling out to Steve asking him if he was okay. He did not answer me. He was hanging head down at the end of the rope, and I was shocked to see quite a bit of blood running down the rock. I yelled to Donn and Jason below. They heard me and began to climb up towards us.
I was able to lower Steve to a ledge and climb up to him. I noticed that the rope attached to Steve was frayed to the core. I was afraid of the potential for the rope to break or slip loose at any time, so I set up additional anchors on some nearby horns. I then maneuvered over to Steve and somehow flipped him so that his head was up. He was still unresponsive, but moaning. His left leg was clearly fractured and he had lost quite a bit of blood from a head wound.
Donn and Jason reached our precarious perch about 15 minutes after the fall. They anchored in and helped to situate Steve to a better position on the small ledge. With his head now fully upright, Steve began to drift in and out of consciousness. Of the three of us, Jason had the strongest first aid skills, and he stepped up to the challenge, taking control of addressing Steve's injuries. Under Jason's calm directions, we bandaged Steve's head wound and created a makeshift split for his left leg using the aluminum stay from Donn's pack. Steve began to shiver and display signs of shock, so we layered him with our extra coats. We were encouraged by the fact that Steve tried to help put his arms into the sleeves as we told him what we were doing. He began to be responsive enough to complain of the pain in his leg, and asked repeatedly what had happened.
We had brought along a cell phone to try to call friends and family from the summit. Now, dealing with a serious accident on one of the most rugged spots in the state, this cell phone would be our life-line. On the previous days, we had been able to get cell service from the summits of both Inspiration and Degenhardt. We agreed that the quickest way to make a call for help would be to continue climbing the buttress to the summit of Terror. We formed a plan. Jason would stay with Steve. Donn and I would continue up towards the summit as quickly (and safely) as we could and try to initiate a helicopter rescue before the night set in. Making the phone call in time was crucial, as Steve's chances of survival would decrease if he had to spend the night on the mountain, especially considering that the deteriorating weather forecast for the coming days.
Donn and I left the accident scene at 12pm to simulcimb the rest of the Stoddard buttress to the false summit. When we passed the location of Steve's fall, we saw a large dihedral-shaped fresh gash. It is likely Steve had been standing on this section when a sizable chunk of what had appeared to be solid rock tore loose below him. He just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. And being on one of the longest and remote routes in one of the most rugged areas of the Cascades is not somewhere you want to be hurt. Even something as minor as a broken arm could be fatal in the Pickets.
As Donn and I simulclimbed towards the summit, we checked repeatedly for cell phone service, but to no avail. When we reached the false summit, we were discouraged that we still could not find a signal. It looked as if we would have to take precious time and climb to the true summit and make one last effort at finding a signal. Then, in a final effort before continuing upwards, Donn found a signal on the far south end of the false summit. At 4pm, we established contact with 911 and initiated a rescue operation out of Marblemount. It is scary to realize how critical this call was to getting Jason and Steve off of the mountain alive.
By the time we started down the west ridge an hour later, we could hear a chopper flying in the vicinity of the north buttress. The chopper would have to make several fly-bys of the buttress to locate the injured party, to test wind speeds and gauge overhead clearance, and to survey the terrain on which to land the rescue personnel. Once this was done, the chopper would land in Crescent Creek Basin, attach a rescue personnel to a long line, and fly above the north buttress to literally pluck Steve from the mountain. This specialized technique - known as the "short haul" - is a tricky maneuver that requires a lot of skill by the chopper's pilot, and had only recently been added to the certifications of the local rescue team. The windy conditions made the maneuver even more difficult, but pilot Tony Reese was up to the challenge.
At 8:30pm, Steve was successfully plucked from the route. Donn and I cheered when we saw Steve on the end of the line flying high above Crescent Creek Basin on his way to the drop-off point in Newhalem. From Newhalem, a Lifeflight chopper took him to Bellingham. Steve was treated for a femur fracture, broken heel, and deep scalp laceration. He would be out of climbing commission for the season, but otherwise was quite lucky given the circumstances. We were all were relieved when we were informed of Steve's stable condition.
By the time Steve was successfully transferred to Newhalem on July 5, dusk had set in and it was too late to airlift Jason off of the mountain. Jason was unhurt, but was not prepared to descend or ascend the route alone, especially not in the dark. When the helicopter had plucked Steve from the rock face, they had dropped off a bivy supply and several days worth of food and water for Jason. They also left him with a radio. Donn and I had also been given a radio during the brief staging in Crescent Creek Basin, so we could keep abreast with the proceedings and even communicate with Jason. The plan was to airlift Jason off the mountain early the next morning. It was difficult to sleep that night knowing Jason was still high up on Mt. Terror.
However, rain and winds and thick clouds moved into the Pickets during the night of July 5. This made it impossible for the helicopter to safely airlift Jason off of the route on July 6 as had been planned. Donn and I remembered a overhanging ledge system about 200 ft below Jason's exposed position on the mountain, where there was a sloping cave. Via our radio we were able to encourage Jason to make an attempt to descend to this spot. This was a risky undertaking given Jason's scant amount of gear and the now treacherous conditions at his location, but the cave would provide significantly more protection from the elements. Realizing this, Jason made the attempt to move to the ledge below. The radio was silent for an agonizing couple of hours, and our hearts lifted when Jason's voice relayed that he had reached the cave. Jason bravely stated that this was a place he felt he could stay for several days if necessary.
Unfortunately, throughout the day on July 6, the weather continued to deteriorate, and via radio Jason reported that it had began to snow outside his cave high on the mountain. Always looking at the positive side of things, Jason commented that the change from rain to snow stopped the flow of water that was pooling in the cave. However, the snow made even a ground rescue (by Donn and me or a Search and Rescue team) quite hazardous. Feeling as though we were abandoning our friend Jason but realizing that we would be better positioned with the team we were communicating with via radio in Marblemount, Donn and I hiked out of Crescent Creek basin.
Donn and I spent much of July 7 (Jason's 3rd day on Mt. Terror) discussing the situation with the rescue team located in Marblemount. The team was led by Kelly Bush. After skillfully and quickly getting Steve off the wall and on his way to medical help, they immediately began addressing how to get back up there for Jason. A stretch of bad weather turned that process into an extended ordeal, and it was both educational and impressive to watch. Kelly had to constantly watch the weather, evaluate Jason's situation and condition, and always be assessing other options and evaluating risk. Moreover, Donn and I never felt shut out of the process. Donn stepped up to the challenge of communicating with the rescue team while I mostly sat back and listened, occasionally contributing photos I had taken of the accident scene and the route around Jason's location. Given the weather and conditions and Kelly's "minimum risk" mentality, it was decided that our best option was to try to wait for a window to airlift Jason off of the route. It looked as if a high pressure system would move in on July 9. If the weather window did not arrive within a few days, then we would move to Plan B of staging a ground operation. We hoped Jason could stay dry and warm in his sloping cave.
During his bivy, Jason maintained high spirits. He reported that the shortbread cookies in the bivy supply were a hit. He probably wished the supply had included a bottle of burbon and a book as well. Or, better yet, a rap cord and a Hilti. But, joking aside, having the bivy gear was a lifesaver. Equally important to Jason's survival was his character during the entire event. During the rescue planning, everything revolved around the urgency to get Jason back down on the ground, and another person might have made that task harder and forced earlier, possibly riskier action. He found a way to physically make himself at least tolerably comfortable, psychologically resigned himself to the fact that he had to stay there for possibly several days, and was just simply a totally tough dude. His radio calls, indicating that he was doing okay and was still in good spirits, I know gave Kelly just a bit of breathing room as she assessed her options, and certainly reduced the stress levels of all of the rest of us who were hovering around anxiously awaiting for his rescue. At 9:30am on July 9, after spending 4 nights on Mt. Terror, the clouds lifted enough for the rescue team to move in and airlift Jason from the mountain. "How is Steve?" were the first words out of Jason's mouth when he stepped off the helicopter. Assured that Steve was doing fine, "Anyone got something to eat other than a granola bar?"
Fortunately, this was a rescue operation with a happy ending. There are a lot of factors that contributed to the success of this climbing rescue. It is scary to realize how vital some of the decisions were to our survival. For one, having 4 members in our party allowed one of us to stay with Steve (who likely would have died on the mountain if alone) while the other two safely climbed to get help. Secondly, having a cell phone and being able to get service from the summit was crucial to airlifting Steve off of the mountain and getting the bivy supply to Jason before the bad weather moved in. Thirdly, the cave kept Jason relatively warm and dry during several days of cold and wet weather high on the mountain, and without it he very well could have succumbed to the harsh elements. Fourthly, the caliber on the members of our team played a big role in the success of the ordeal. We all kept calm and realized our various roles from the time Steve fell to the time Jason was airlifted off of the mountain. And, perhaps most importantly, the success of the rescue operation ultimately depended on the full-time dedication of Kelly Bush and her rescue team in Marblemount. Looking back, Kelly's skillful decisions were right every step of the way, and the rescue operation was both educational and impressive to watch. This team demonstrated how a rescue should be done.
And as for Steve, he's already got tattooed on his cast a daily reminder of his 2-month goal: "Climb North Twin Sister, Sept 5, 2009". Knowing Steve, he will do it.
UPDATE #1: Jason later wrote an article for the 2010 Northwest Mountaineering Journal, titled "Four Nights at the Terror Hilton," detailing his experience during his 4 nights stranded on Mt. Terror.
UPDATE #2: In March 2012, climbing ranger Kevork Arackellian received the Valor Award and helicopter pilot Tony Reece received the Citizen's Award for Bravery from Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar in Washington DC. This was for their efforts in the Mt. Terror rescue in 2009. Well deserved! Here's an article about it. The Yakima Herald newspaper carried a captivating front page story shortly after this to document the details of the rescue.
UPDATE #3: In their May 2013 issue, the Air & Space/Smithsonian magazine published an article (written by Preston Lerner) called "Rescued" which detailed five search-and-rescue missions showcasing the remarkable capabilities of helicopter rescues. The Mt. Terror rescue was one of the featured stories. Accompanying the article was a photo I took of Steve's wild ride short-haul over the North Cascades. Here is a pdf of the article.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH — Miami Booker T. Washington coach
Tim 'Ice' Harris
knew coming in that defending the championship of the Battle at the Beach 7-on-7 tournament would be more difficult than last year's inaugural victory.
A long, hot Saturday proved him right as the Tornadoes needed to defeat 8A state champion Tampa Plant twice to claim the championship and a $10,000 prize.
Tampa Plant sent Washington into the loser's bracket with a 24-12 decision in the winner's bracket final. Booker T.Washington then eliminated Palm Beach Gardens Dwyer and then posted victories of 14-13 and 16-7 over Plant.
"Second time is always tougher," Harris said. "The reps against great teams made for great experience and help the players get ready for college ball. We showed heart and determination to be able to grind it out today."
The Tornadoes got key defensive plays from FSU commitment Michael Johnson and highly-touted linebacker Matthew Thomas, but the final two games belonged to junior quarterback Treon Harris, son of Coach Harris and younger brother of Houston Texans defensive back Brandon Harris, who was on the sidelines Saturday.
Treon Harris posted a last-minute touchdown in the first Plant victory and helped the Tornadoes answer a Plant score in the hotly contested finale.
Coach Harris said that Treon, a Class of 2015 prospect, has already received offers from Florida State, Illinois and UCF to play quarterback.
"This shows he can play the position," Coach Harris said. "He's doing a good job of understanding to be a high-percentage passer and not always go deep. He showed patience to get the ball underneath."
Tampa Plant, who received $5,000 for finishing second, was vying for its third 7-on-7 tournament victory of the summer.
Mount Dora's Bryant Mosher leads team to Final Four
Mount Dora not only provided the best Central Florida performance with its fourth-place finish, but also the feel-good storyline.
Down 15-13 in an elimination game, the Hurrricanes were only one play away from upsetting Palm Beach Gardens Dwyer, but senior Jordan Porter dropped a pass over the middle in the final minute that could have gone for a touchdown. Head
Coach Chad Grawbowski had to reach deep down to deliver the "one play is not the reason we lost" speech afterwards.
"He's our best receiver," Grabowski said. "It kills him anytime something like this happens."
Grabowski looked at the big picture. The 4A Hurricanes made it to the winner's bracket final four with victories over Atlantic, Leesburg and John Leonard before losing to Tampa Plant, then remaining alive by knocking off Daytona Beach Seabreeze.
"This is big," Grawbowski said. "We finally got a team, even though its young, that knows what it's doing."
Mt. Dora got solid reps from quarterback Bryant Mosher, a rising junior, and play at the end from Porter, Jonta Scott and Terrance Bynum, who is getting looks from FIU and Navy.
Michael Colubiale still producing
Spruce Creek's Michael Colubiale is now on the radar for being under the radar.
The senior, who caught touchdown passes in the Hawks' victory over crosstown Atlantic and elimination game to Carol City, is regarded as one of Volusia County's top receivers, but has yet to receive an official college football offer. There's interest from Western Kentucky and a slew of FCS schools, including a few Ivy League programs.
"It's motivation for me to get better, Colubiale said. "I know I'm not heavily recruited, but it makes me work harder."
Colubiale's 6-foot-3 frame and jumping ability make him a good target, but his speed (4.6 in the 40) will have many programs putting him at tight end.
Creek's offensive coordinator, Joe Giddens, is helping him deal with the recruiting drama.
"If he goes to the right program and the right system, he could be a sleeper," Giddens said.
Jame Clark enjoys competition
Volusia County's most sought-after player, New Smyrna Beach's James Clark, liked being one of many this weekend.
The Barracudas took Booker T. Washington to the limit, falling by just two points and then were eliminated in overtime by Vero Beach, but Clark appreciated the opportunity to go up against other top-notched recruits.
"The talent level here this weekend was amazing," said Clark, ranked 68th in the country at wide receiver by Rivals.com. "Going against a team like Booker T. was a great experience. They're the best of the best and an all-around football team.
Clark enters his senior season with offers from 21 schools, including Auburn. Notre Dame, Penn State, Wake Forest and West Virginia. He's handling the attention in stride.
"The thing to do is don't get too cocky about it," Clark said. "I'm not going around showboating …"
"Twenty-one? Someone the other day told me 31," Clark kidded. "We'll take things as they come."

Student Protests : You Won't See This Version In The MSM

The cops tried to cause a riot last year at the G20 demo and failed - as I wrote up here: http://donnachadelong.info/2009/04/21/did-the-cops-try-to-cause-a-riot-at-g20/
- 24 November 2010 at 22:21
This needs so be shared everywhere. Police assaulting kids, wrong. They kept them kettled for 8 hours!!!
- 24 November 2010 at 22:24
You can see another example of police 'courage' at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nqxP2bpF7I in which they can't run fast enough from a Mohammedan rabble who are chasing them, taunting them and throwing traffic cones at them.
Bloody cowards.
- 24 November 2010 at 22:59
To be perfectly honest the video is so jerky that I mentally switched off after a minute or so. I can't form any opinion on what was going on based on this evidence. If someone had been filming from a nearby building so we could see the "Bigger Picture" things might be clearer. However as Willam Gruff points out the students would be better off wearing different clothing and chanting Islamic slogans....
- 24 November 2010 at 23:10
Im sure there will be more footage tomorrow when the students upload what they have.
- 24 November 2010 at 23:11
Don't you understand though, that when you allow the Socialist Workers Party to infiltrate your protests, then your asking for trouble all over the shop?
They rarely get arrested or hurt, and they're past masters of inciting violence and then disappearing into the crowd, whilst others are then invited to "Pay the ferryman".
It's an age old adage, passed down throughout generations in that:.....Next time you're protesting...."Try and keep the Trots away".
- 24 November 2010 at 23:37
What say I? Well, I'm like a little bit pissed on gin and ale but I cannot really comment on this vid. I've seen plenty more today wot raised my ire, like that Yorkshire MEP bloke getting kicked out for telling the truth (and I hate Yorkshiremen, but fair play, he were telling the truth!)
Now, your above video - I don't know wot it's trying to say except from the looks of it I'd happily spray boiling piss on both sides of the line. And then come back and do it again after a couple more pints of gin and ale. (Celery is nice for a snack)
- 24 November 2010 at 23:53
later on into the vid the police are seen clearly kicking what appears to be an peacefull crowd.
- 25 November 2010 at 04:29
Congrats to the cameraperson for concentrating on their shoulder numbers, hope someone takes a note of them before the vid gets pulled as 'evidence'.
Beeb Radio 2 did mention 'thousands' of students being "held" in Trafalgar Square, just the once.
They had that nice Mr Clegg on who put up a pretty good case for the new tuition fees regime including putting down the "How am I, as a single Muvva, supposed to cope with paying £9,000 a year to put each ov my kids froo Yooniveri'y includin food and rent?" woman.
"You won't, and neither will your children until they are earning substantial salaries".

Taking a break to day to say God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving to all my U.K. friends as we are all family in God.

Bringing you out on the streets is exactly what they want. Peacefull demonstrations are meat and potatoes to the police and the press. In every instance there is lots of shuffling, lots of pushing, questions and demands, confrontations. Those police actions are covered under attempting to quell violence, but the violence is often instigated by 'plants', and whilst someone has to be near the front of any demonstration, you can bet those who are up for it will be right in there ready for a 'go'.
Only Sky has some footage of Zoe Williams attempting to stop the trashing of a police van and calming people down:
The rest are hyped up, and after being deliberately 'kettled' for up to nine hours - who wouldn't be.
One protester was of the view that the van was also planted as a sacrificial item for a focus point for media. Could well have been.
We also have to ask ourselves, what would have happened if there had been no 'kettling', no riot gear, and the protesters allowed to chant and march? Without any violence a peaceful demonstration may achieve much, but that cannot be allowed. Peaceful demonstrations work, and because the do cannot be allowed. If such a demo is organised and refused it may well be because the 'rent-a-mob' don't have sufficient contingencies to ensure violence - and there's no content on the plate for the media without violence.
This entire sequence of events is orchestrated and designed to breed hate. Does anyone focus on the schoolgirls linking hands 'protecting' that police van? Very few I'll wager. Hate breeds violence, is focessed on and it plays straight into their hands.
Consider this: The same scenario in Whitehall with no voices raised, no throwing missiles, no placards to burn, but total silence instead. How would the police reacted to that - something quite unexpected? It won't happem, because hate has been planted to germinate and destroy peace. Love is not an emotion I would use towards politicians or the individuals in uniform, but genetically our dna is more powerful with that feeling, than with hate, which creates actions seen in most any riot.
- 25 November 2010 at 08:51
Ooops! Sorry about the spelling; 'peaceful'; 'focussed'. :-[
- 25 November 2010 at 08:56
What I want to know is, was it a police chief or a member of the government who ordered the placing of the police van where it was so it would give the police an excuse to give these troublesome students a good hiding.
- 25 November 2010 at 09:44
Thank you and I hope that you and all our other American visitors had a great day with their families!
- 25 November 2010 at 09:45
Yes, and I haven't seen one single picture of that van complete with it's registration number plates. Who removed them? The protesters or the police? Anyone?
- 25 November 2010 at 09:52
It was the police after realising it was untaxed and would been picked up on the stop & cop 'number plate recognition ' cameras
- 25 November 2010 at 10:11
I watched the vid last night and tried getting the shoulder numbers here: http://youve-been-cromwelled.org/?p=1663
- 25 November 2010 at 13:37
GOT. todays telegraph (25/11) has a pic with someone/protestor with a registration plate in hand, presumably that of said police van, not saying it's real, just saying.
- 25 November 2010 at 16:59
Thanks for that .... so it's very unlikely it was the police then. Also had an email to say van wasn't taxed but after spending hours scouring every pic I could find, I eventually found an early pic with the tax disc in place. So we can put that conspiracy theory to bed then. However, the evidence of police kicking peaceful protesters still remains for all to see. Please take note "The Special One' ;)
- 25 November 2010 at 17:06
NIce one Olly ... and did I see an 'officer' @ 3:17 without a shoulder number? Hard to tell for sure either way ;)
- 25 November 2010 at 17:11
On the money again, Dazed! ;)
- 25 November 2010 at 17:31
I wouldn't spray my boing piss on those police cunts if they were on fire, Henry! >:o
- 25 November 2010 at 17:33
here it is, to the bottom left. t'telegraph say we can't sher their piccies but we know better ;)
- 26 November 2010 at 00:15
registration number is LX54 CPY, police national computer anyone?
- 26 November 2010 at 08:01
Is that it? I've seen more commotion in a kindergarten!
- 26 November 2010 at 21:55
Do you take a police van to the middle of a demo without riot grilles? :)
