Occupy London 12th May 2012. Matthew Chattle Photojournalism. Alamy Live News

Saturday 12th May saw Occupy London converge on St Paul's. I caught up with them on Fetter Lane as police lines and Occupy protesters reached a critical point. Drums and whistles were going like crazy and tension and tempers were flaring. A lot of pushing and shoving as police attempted to hold back the crowd from going wherever they were eventually  going. The mood changed from good natured joshing and pushing to a split second later when tempers reached a pitch. Then batons were drawn and it certainly threatened to turn nasty. All pictures are on Alamy as stock now, I always upload to Alamy Live News and I cover as many events and news events in London as I can.
