Yeah true. Theres smoke coming out from one of top window...
No arrests at this stage.

There was a funny bit on the BBC news...
They were zooming in to show the graffiti and they zoomed on one and panned across and it was like..
BANKERS ALL SUK
MONEY IS FOR LOOZERS
INFLATION BULL**** (unfiltered obviously, oops!)
Whats happening in London:
1. Anti banking/capitalist march/protest at the bank of england.
- putting slogans on the building, generally causing a fuss.
2. Anti climate change people marching/protest nearby.
- camping in the middle of the street, causing a fuss too.
Police has taken over RBS :)
13 arrested so far.
They're demonstrating against the G20 Summit.Quote:

LOL its focused on a bloke bleeding now shouting at police..
Seems to be kinda under control.
Theyre all chanting now.
EDIT: "A small fire" LOL. when theres a lot of smoke coming from window. small. yeah.
All kicked off AGAIN cos some police left to go somoewhere else its all riot aagain.
I'm failing to understand why there is a protest.
The world leaders are meeting in London to sort our money issues and discuss climate change, yet there is people there to cause havoc for them doing a good job?
If this was in the USA the police would have sprayed them with water or simply fired a gun and threatened to shoot. It's not hard, and it's making the UK look like they can't handle a few people. Pathetic.
Exactly what I was thinking to be honest Matt. Why bother? Won't change anything, the world leaders are hear to discuss and plan changes and all these lot do is protest. I agree about the USA bit, they would probably deal with the protests much better then what we are doing now.Quote:

Starting a fire? Get a grip on life, people.
Glad I'm not having a weekend down south.. :rolleyes:
It's their own fault for taking out huge loans from banks and not realising you have to pay it back or something. America caused the recession. This is what happens when countries are given independence =l
omg, something on sky news :/
the police charged forward hitting and there were like 4 people on the floor, one of them looked like a child and a policeman ran forward, went back and wacked one of them on the head 3 times :/
Something bad is gonna happen
I cant beleive the police tbh. They were told to 'go foward and hit anyone' i just saw them hit a woman and child to the floor and then go back and hit a potogropher on the head...!
and serious LOL at the drum and bass ravers in middle of crowd lmaoo
THATS WHAT I WAS GOING ON ABOUT!! That officer should get fired tbh :/Quote:

ahaha awesome! I bet sarah browns getting well annoyed having to go in and out all the time
She deserved it, what kind of woman takes a child to a riot?:S
it might not have been a child. And maybe they were trying to get somewhere or they live nearby?
Yeah some woman was trying to get home from work and she got beaten.. lol.Quote:

lol "hello I'm on my way home with a child, oh look I'll just take a detour through this angry mob of rioters and police".
but maybe they lived in a box in the middle, they cant exactly avoid it :(
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:
