@crookedfootball The police completely encircled almost all the protestors for the whole protest; most people outside were just onlookers.

@crookedfootball I did find a couple in the end. But the actual protestors in that particular photo are all hidden behind the police.

@archidave @talkie_tim I didn’t see any of that happening.

@kshack22 They were acting very politely, but there were just so many it was quite hard to tell there was a protest behind them.

@archidave What, you mean it wasn’t just the police there? They were the only people I could see.

.@benparkatbjs No. I am not still dressed as Santa. That would be too surreal even for me.

It must get really quite dull after the first couple of hours standing around within a tight circle of police.

One thing that strikes me: does Bristol have any police officers _or_ any student protesters that aren’t white?

@hayles Their typography needs work, I admit :)

@johnfbraun The ones who do this stuff all the time actually know the law. This lot are well-humoured and polite.

@thomasvenables no cars from Park Street direction, either, so my be closed.

That light plane (G-EELS) is flying awfully low over .

On way home. Technically, I have travelled 2+km on foot in full Santa costume today, at least…

@lucyreddd I think it’s a presence of Santas :)

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to other_red

@lucyreddd was pretty damn slippy in place on walk there. Also run goes over Pero’s Bridge which was apparently quite deadly earlier.

@Jorence Not surprised. Lovely and misty.

@Dru_Marland @IreneB9 Ta; good to know they’re not hunting Santsa :)

Kudos to The Living Room, by the way, for providing a free hot drink to the disappointed Santas.

@Jorence Cool. The Living Room, near planetarium.

Non-Santa related question: why are ALL THE POLICE IN THE WORLD driving into Bristol down Anchor Road this morning?

via Twitter for iPhone

RT @Phooto: @gothick good luck, although I think it’s a little unfair to have to run with your age on display like that. <— Ho ho ho *slap*

Also: photo ops rather limited at the mo. http://yfrog.com/g9pgej

On way down to register for . Hope they’ve gritted the route, or it’ll be Santas on their backside instead.

@Jorence I’m not entirely convinced I shall make it from Hotwells to the Lloyds Amphitheatre un-shouted-at. Still. Ho ho ho :)
