Report Digital Week Ending 27/04/12
This week’s belated Report Digital covers most the month of library uploads and coverage.
As Climate Rush called the Spring Clean action outside DEFRA, that saw their security overstepping the mark on restricting filming in a public place, the 2008 storming of parliament went into the online archive.
More 2010 student protests also went into the online archive, this time the Student Siege of Millbank Tory Headquarters and the night scenes from December 9 on Whitehall.
More Egypt archive footage from the Battle of Cairo also went in.
Coverage this month covered the Leyton Marsh protest eviction, the DPAC Trafalgar Square blockade, Olympic Security Concerns and the Tottenham Court Road siege by far right BNP supporter.
More footage is available from reportdigital.co.uk

EDL Tower Hamlets
Video rush of the English Defence League (EDL) protest in Tower Hamlets, East London. The original march was banned after Home Secretary Theresa May ordered all protest marches be banned across five London boroughs for 30 days following the London riots. Sixty people in all were arrested, including EDL leader Stephen Yaxley Lennon (Tommy Robinson), who breached bail conditions to attend the protest.

EDL Fail in Europe
Saturday 30 October 2010: A video rush of the events around the arrival of the English Defence League (EDL) in Amsterdam and their failed attempt to launch the European Freedom Inititiative.These shots include the arrival of Ajax football fans, who refused the EDL invite to join their protest on the grounds of being multicultural football fans with no space for racism or islamophobia and having a long list of vendettas against English football gangs. Instead they arrived to confront the EDL, only to be put back on trains by large sways of Dutch riot police.
There are also excerpts of the speech by EDL leader Tommy Robinson – aka Steven Yaxley-Lennon, aka Paul Ray – to an audience of some 20 far righters and around 100 members of the international press. And there are some parting shots of the EDL tour bus with smashed windows, a greeting given by locals in the vicinity of the designated protest area – an industrial estate on the most western point on Amsterdam.

Police Clash With Youth After Tower Hamlets Anti-EDL March
It had been an impressive turnout on the anti-EDL protest. Thousands marched through Tower Hamlets. It was heated, even angry, but peaceful. But when the demonstration ended the tension continued. Several hundred people remained in the street outside the mosque, fearing an EDL attack. The atmosphere was heightened by the continual cruising of police vans and cars. Then came the snatches of individuals from the street. As the youth anger became audible the police charged forwards with batons, pushing and hitting young men.
In an already tinderbox environment, these police actions did nothing but increase the potential of violent disorder. This video should set the records straight to a certain extent and deliver an alternative viewpoint to the BBC report.
