Space Hijackers 'Guilty' party at Bank on May Day protests police violence at G20 protest. Pigs with tattoos came as police

---

The Space Hijackers organised 'Guilty', an event starting at Bank at , inviting people to come dressed either as guilty criminals or as police, and for the guilty to give themselves in. This was a protest against the police violence in attacking largely peaceful demonstrators on April 1. Although a much smaller event, those present were the core of the G20 demonstrators, including some of the G20 Meltdown organising group who had brought their maypole for some May Day celebrations. This time the police simply lined up in front of some of the more vulnerable sites in the area and stood back and watched. With no police provocation or attacks, this was a good-natured and peaceful event for the whole of the time I was there.
