protests against capatilism in the city

That tt Russell Brand's just turned up, on Sky news now.

Watching Sky News live beam backs from their 'copters hovering above the four lots of marching groups - all VERY small - numbering in the hundreds rather than thousands.

I'm still waiting for any of these folk to articulate what exactly they are demonstrating against and what exactly they are suggesting as an alternative aproach to our current woes. I'm guessing I'll be waiting a while.

....And now I've just seen that noblet Russell Brand there - what little credibility these muppets had has just completely dissapeared.

Who mentioned a riot, it's a protest no?

[Bolebroke]

well..there's some pretty nasty shuffling going on now...one protestor is actually shouting !

[Ponk]

So how does an old APC fit in with the whole anti capitalism, save the world ethos, does it run on flowers and love?

[pokethepope]

IIRC it just said that they had been stopped again (they were released first time) and arrested for being in possesion of police uniforms.

[Bolebroke]

+1.

I've been shouting at the TV for the last 10 minutes. They guy with the sunglasses they spoke to seemed to have an idea of why they were there.

The hoodied-up pair were just rentamob. Didn't have a clue what was going on. Didn't have a clue what they were protesting about. They're the fking idiots who will cause trouble later.


And FFS... I've just seen a banner protesting against Farmer's Markets!! WTF?

[Somewhatfoolish]

I am tempted to go down there and do an intereview with sky

If they feel that strongly about their beliefs, feel that they are in the right, why the need to hide their face? It'd be like posting opinions on an internet message board under a pseudonym... ah...
