This was featured on ITV London News and
BBC London News. What is wrong here is this could have been held on Scotland or Ireland. London Tax Payers are having to pay for this 20million pounds in Many Police Forces. Not only does most of Europe not agree with Brown they will have to sit through him groaning away. One College Prof. was suspended today as he joked about hanging bankers from lamp posts. Many Protests will start days before that summit, London Workers in the city could be in for a Rough week. The Summit is on Thursday. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/f...-lockdown.html Fears police tactics at G20 protests will lead to violence David Howarth, a Liberal Democrat MP who is leading a parliamentary group of observers at the protests next week, said: "I am increasingly worried that what the police are saying about the protests will end up in a self-fulfilling prophecy. By talking up the prospect of violence they will put off peaceful demonstrators and start to attract other sorts." http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/mar/27/g20-protest Many Protesters from Europe are here for this Summit. Brown has made a Big Error, here. |

Workmen board up The Ritz hotel in London ahead of a week of protests "As many as 10,000 protesters are gathering in London for the first in a series of demonstrations ahead of Thursday's G20 summit in the capital." Central London now has groups getting ready to march from mid day. http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-...it_On_Thursday |

anthropologist Chris Knight said: "The message to police is 'if you press your nuclear button, I'll press mine'. It sounds like a threat? Well, yeah - don't do it. If you want violence, you'll get it." He is the Prof, that was suspended. |

It's the same people that disagree and whine about new labour that are the one's out in the street protesting about the G20.
If they're looking to point fingers at this Ł20m bill, they should start by looking in the mirror at what they are doing |

Yes its a Mixed bunch
so many groups they do not merge so well , though. Live On SkyNews one woman ranting away has a megaphone. Now we can see the Faced Covered Gang of Anti Capatilists the Police tried to remove their scarves - but gave up as there was to many them, and Russell Brand is now on TV. He has two minders with him. Sky News Reporter kept asking Brand why he was here, Russell was not helping saying 'I Live Here' and 'Ask someone else' He would not say the reason he was there. The Bloated BBC News team moved well away from Russell unlike SkyNews they can not film as much in the crowd. I hope Ch4News team get to Russell he may talk with them as he works for Ch4 Entertainment |

Makes me ashamed to be British witnessing this. I'd bet half the people 'protesting' don't even know what they are actually protesting against, and are just along for the ride.

One Mature Women
in that Protest just spoke on Radio 5 Live, she was trapped in one area and could not go to the toilet for 6 hours or so. She had a valid reason of being there, though, as she lost her job and home. She was a Council Worker , before. |

New Labour. Some are there as they have No Job , no future. Some are Eco Protesters. On the News today some students will leave College and go straight on the Dole, that is not good. The Bad bunch come under the Anti-Capatilists Even a Office Worker makes his point about 12 years of the FSA under Brown. |

I think they're pathetic, half of them are probably bandwagon jumpers and I bet some don't realise the economy is a global problem, its not just a UK thing and given the size of the UK to the other countries what ever we do won't really have an effects. Drop in the ocean. People smashing things is just shooting themselves in the foot- where is the money coming from to replace it? |

Sure many confirmed they had no job and wanted to go to this demo. Some had Flowers and were their on a Eco Demo. It was known to the Police that a few Gangs were going to get angry and many were pushed into a small area. 23 arrested |

^ Then why don't they just go out and get another job?
There are an estimated half a million full time permanent vacancies in the UK, thats before we even start to look at temporary full time vacancies and both permanent and temporary part time jobs. People can't use the excuse of the recession for not getting a job imo. |

Tom in some areas 100 people go for 1 job. The Problem is much of this happens in one go like House gone future changed. The Mature Lady who spoke on Radio 5 has been trying to get work but she may be of a age they do not want now. Everything has changed for many honest people. |
