Riots in London

[Immenseman]

yeah i think they know there is no point, it's damaged now and if they started charging they would just make things worse. they need to let people calm down and then do whatever they can to break it up.

[lew!]

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

[Inscribe]

why is it happening?

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.

why is it happening?

They're demonstrating against the G20 Summit.
A lot of people are doing it because of the bankers are getting richer whilst the rest of the public continue to get poorer in recession.

Yeah, police charging the protesters now and I can hear swearing on sky news before watershed *reportz*

O NOES MI PRESHUS EARZ!

Looks fun tbh. Wish I was there. Guess driving a 500 mile round trip to attend a climate change or anti-capitalism protest would be a little too stupid even for me.

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.
