That's the complete wrong attitude to have towards the recession, it may well be true that it was triggered in the US because of their banks however our banks were no better and completely out of control, lending far too much to people who wouldn't pay it back. The economy had been doing well previously and because we had some fool as Chancellor, he didn't save any money at all but was still borrowing when the economy was doing well so that's why we're in a **** position for the recession, I'm afraid we can't just blame America.Quote:

I find it absolutely hilarious and remarkably hypocritical that these protesters are behaving in the way they are. The whole protest - the need for a massive police response, the damage caused, the clean up operation etc - is going to cost masses of money; and yet these people are protesting because of the recession? IF YOU DIDN'T BEHAVE LIKE SUCH FOOLS WE'D HAVE A LITTLE MORE MONEY.
But its not a lot of money needed on resources compared to the amount of power people have to change it. If this happened more often then the government would have to do something.Quote:
