Crowd shouts 'Shame on you' as London police break up a peaceful vigil for Sarah Everard

Police stormed the stage, handcuffed women and dragged them into police vans. The crowd shouted: "Shame on you," "Leave them alone" and "Arrest your own."

As night fell on the part of South London where Sarah Everard took her final steps 10 days ago, the clouds parted for one last ray of sun. At the Clapham bandstand, where thousands had begun to gather for a vigil supposedly canceled because of Covid, someone began beating a drum -- its predictable rhythm a reminder of the raft of casual misogyny the crowd said it had come to highlight.
