Just been released after 7 hours at charring cross police station, cautioned for theft of police equipment, plod there said that they had detained 35 activists throughout the day.
I saw two Sheffielders and one from Doncaster, one from Wigan and about 3 from London
There was 1 international, Italian I think, didn't get to speak to them.
Spirits were high in the detention yard, people passing round cigarettes and talking about their experiences of the day.
Most had been charged with obstruction, criminal damage(going equiped) and threatening behaviour. Three people I spoke to were being charged with assault on a police officer, in the first case after the police had thrown a small guy into the recreation ground, this guy having landed on his face, the person being charged had thought the police were attacking kids and so had waded in to help. The second was someone attempting to find out the number of a plod that had just pushed a pregnant woman over. The third case was of someone pouring beer over a plod.

Don't be pissed

Instead of being pissed off why not do something about that which you are pissed off about. It'll make you feel a lot better and may even change that which you are concerned about.
For a start you could write something here to let people know a bit more about what you're talking about - why are you pissed off, what is Sheffield Care Trust, why do feel bad about this person dying etc.
If you leave a contact maybe someone else who feels the same way will contact you and together you could call a meeting and perhaps start a campaign.
But moaning about the situation and doing FA about it will only make you feel worse - guarranteed!
not pissed off
repeated where?
