Under the Flower Beds, the Beach!

Or, as the front of the Irish Examiner had it today, "Anarchy in Edinburgh."

Personally, I prefer this version of events from the Irish Independent:

"UP to 1,000 anarchists were blamed for bringing Edinburgh to a standstill yesterday and provoking fierce confrontations with the police..."

"The turning point came when a scuffle broke out in Prince's Street Gardens, in which anarchists tore up plants from flower beds and threw them at police."

Tore up plants to throw at the police? Someone could have been hurt!

Not those individuals armed with batons, shields, and helmets, though, I imagine.
