The protesters - Anonymous. The date, November
the fifth - intentional.
This was the London branch of the Million
Mask March, which saw demonstrators wearing
Guy Fawkes masks take to the streets, campaigning
against, among other things, global injustice.
Now a days, the mask is synonymous with the
anonymous movement. Orignally a hacktivist
group, it's now more of a loose collective
of like-minded people, an idea if you will,
mainly concerned about things like campaigning
against surveillance and corruption, and protecting
internet freedom.
Marches took place all over the world in what
was dubbed the Million Mask March and OpVendetta.
The mask, of course, features in the movie
V for Vendetta.
In the UK, hundreds of Anonymous supporters,
mainly with their faces covered, marched from
London's Trafalgar Square, to Parliament and
Buckingham Palace. There were some minor scuffles
with police along the way, but no arrests
were reportedly made.
