Chas and Camilla were toffing it in central London and their car got pelted, probably providing MSM with images of "violent anarchist thugs":
Listening to the Breaking News channels, with their descriptions of police officers being injured by violent protestors, and highly symbolic windows being smashed (eg tax dodger Top Shop and the Ministry of Justice), the clamour for protests to be banned is growing.

Quote:9pm Some further updates on the Prince Charles car incident. Abdul has emailed to say he was at Regent street when the prince's car was surrounded:
pathetic security of six police bikes for the prince, no one realised who it was, evidenced by the crowd screaming "tory scum" ... about 80 people then rushed up about 50m and made a roadblock out of roadworking blocks and metal gates, forcing the motorcade to swerve and turn away
He adds that the protest there seems to be ebbing away now.
8.40pm Reports are coming in that at about 7.30pm Prince Charles's car, which was driving along Regent street, was attacked by a crowd of protesters. The prince was in the car, as was Camilla.
Eyewitnesses said the car was well lit up, so it was easy to see who was inside. The car was surrounded by protesters, who broke a window and splashed the car with paint. Shortly afterwards, the police arrived, in a scene described as "complete chaos".
