Riots in London

[no waiii]

why isit always the hippys

[lew!]

Wrong. We decide who the government is, and after that they can essentially do what they want. Obviously there are restrictions, but what I am saying is that the government will simply batter down such protests and go about their business doing what they believe needs doing. Violent protests will merely incite the government to become more harsh on those that behave in that way.

No, In extreme circumstances the government HAVE to change because if there's so many wanting change, they'll have to do it.
Such as today, putting people in danger and vandalism, if it continues, they will continue and with the current climate it looks like its going to happen again. The protesters are doing the same tomorrow.

And they will be battered down further. For sure.

This anarcho-communists don't know what politics is.

They're deluded, stupid, uneducated people who don't know that anarchy has always failed e.g Spain

I don't mind them expressing their views but doing it violently just isnt right, especially when their views ARE wrong

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.

I was trying to be a poor person and use scapegoats. Speaking of which I'm surprised the BNP haven't taken this opportunity to claim all "non-indigenous" Britons are bankers. They really are nazis with no political cunning.

Yes, a few more times but sooner or later they will have to change unless we get out of this situation which isnt going to happen for a long time!

well actually, im sure only a few people got violent but when people start pushing and shoving you, your natural instinct is to run or fight back. Either one of these will result in a subsequent effect.

But youre narrow mindedness thinking that they are wrong and you are right needs to be changed

Exactly. Two people running away causes 4 people to run and be shoved causing more to do it and then it turns into a stampede with loads of people fighting!

What's the current situation? Still people there?

They all need to learn they can't have their own way all the time tbh..

On the subject of the woman and child getting hit, so what? The police have been given orders to move people back, and if those two people want to fight back at the police (and the law) then they're gonna be hit. It's their own fault.

I'm going there on Saturday. Also if they're protesting about money maybe they shouldn't be sto stuipd because they whole police opperation have cost 17.5 million of tax payers money. Idiots !
