The Great Unwashed Are Starting To Riot !

[paraffin]

The G20 protest is taking place today in London.
"Protesters" have now begun smashing windows and breaking into the RBS.

Is this democracy at work?

What odds on a full scale riot before the afternoon is up?

[Julnar]

There's no point attacking the RBS, there's no money in it!

[Nosha123]

how ridiculous.. and what must people from other countries think of us as a nation to see the british behaving this way.
If they are so against The City and commercialism why dont they go buy some remote island and live off the land and not bother the rest of us.

[The Sherman]

Nosha your comment is so retarded I can hardly believe i'm replying

[sqad617]

paraffin.......so many different groups wnating so many different things.

The "great unwashed" may now, not be accurate, as there are now very many articulate demonstraters.

[trt]

Nosha,

You have obviously never seen the French when they have a demo, 10 times worse than whats going on in London.

paraffin,

I cant understand why the RBS didn't board up that branch, they must have known they would be under attack.

[ELVIS68]

They are only there for a fight, they all deserve a baton over the head, tayzer gun then a bullet between the eyes

[JimmyCooper]

Against the city and commercialism but I bet they are all on benefits

Sherman - a bit harsh

I agree totally with Nosha

[no-knowledge]

the ones nearest the police don't look very articulated.

[sqad617]

noKo......didn't say articulated LOL..I said articulate.

The will; be DIS-articulated when the police get them though.

Campaign groups who will be protesting include:

ActionAid, TUC, Save the Children, The Salvation Army and WWF

Still, better to think of them all as unwashed - makes your black and white world seem oh so clear.

Vic I'll send you a torch so you get get yourself out of the cavern that is your own ar5e.

We are talking about rent a mob and not the Sally Army

[no-knowledge]

lol sqad no idea why i put a d on the end. it's making interesting viewing though

[Kromovaracun]

I don't really understand protesting the G20. I mean, the intentions of it are pretty over-ambitious as is (is right now really the time to think about re-structuring global finance while the crisis is still raging?), so turning up and effectively saying, 'Oh, and talk about this as well...' just seems kind of feeble to me.

And if you're protesting against the intended measures... Well... do they really think Brown is going to cave in to protestors right in front of the G20?

I just don't get it.

Seeing as you are such an articulate young man, I will in future choose to believe what ever you say as opposed to an independent News corporation.

ELVIS:

Stop sitting on the fence - say what you REALLY think !!

trt:

There is NO justification for people smashing windows etc: That doesn't constitute "peaceful protest", does it?

sqad:

No doubt they'll need a wash after they've finished "peacefully demonstrating" !!

[Tizzi247]

The protesters are pathetic.

[Kromovaracun]

No doubt they'll need a wash

Probably. It's getting warm, and I imagine they'll get quite sweaty. Plus London's a bit dusty. And if they're in a rush to get there they might have to wear yesterday's clothes.

[youngmafbog]

What rubbish I read on here.

This question is accurate, it is the unwashed scum that are rioting not the genuine protestors. These scum who want the end of capitalism are more than happy for us to pay their dole. Any acught should have it stopped - for good. All they are doing is distracting from the genuine protestors who do have a valid point.

The old Bill have shut roads off around here and there is a chopper in the air (I'm at Bank). What a total waste of cash that could have been put to better use.

These people are scum END OFF.

[The Sherman]

what the hell does end off mean?
