Summer of Rage

If ever I wished I lived in London, it would be a week on Wednesday when there is due to be a massive protest to coincide with the G20 summit.

The police started its scaremongering last month when they forecast a summer of rage as the reality of the economic crisis begins to hit home.

Now the police are admitting that they face unprecedented challenges trying to police the event.

The source said “this potent cocktail is reminiscent of the poll tax riots which fatally wounded Margaret Thatcher’s government in 1990”.

The rage has started in Scotland.

Looks like Fred will have to use a teeny weeny fraction of his first pension payment to get some new windows!

The government should applaud the vandals, they're helping return Fred's pension back to the public, one window at a time. I wonder how many windows they have to break a year to get it all back?

Looks like the govt are expecting major demonstrations at the G20 next week and rightly so.  All police leave has been cancelled and the surrounding hospitals are on high alert for casualties.

Looks like they are expecting it all to kick-off....

A TENSE day of protests passed off peacefully yesterday as more than 35,000 people took to the streets of London demanding action on jobs, poverty and climate at next week's G20 summit.
