The G20 summit arranged for the 2nd April will bring major world leaders to East London in order to discuss the current financial crisis. Police are fearful that 'anarchists' and other 'anti-capitalist' groups are planning to riot on the day leading up to the summit and on the day itself. A number of institutions and businesses within London have announced that they will be closed tomorrow and Thursday to avoid possible involvement in the planned protests.
Any thoughts, predictions, hopes or fears regarding what might occur? http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?p...GkyMo&refer=uk |

I hope Berlusca will drown in the Thames.
More likely, there WILL be some "clashes" between extremists and police (and possibly some problems with "normal" people too, unemployed guys etc), but I hope nobody will get seriously injured. Sure thing, the atmosphere is quite heavy..and I guess police will strike pretty hard, if provoked.

do you know why they call it the G20? because when you look at it, you turn around 20 degrees.

There'll be some sporadic low-level trouble, but not much else. The G20 will be one giant talking shop, which will serve as little more than an ego-boost for various world leaders. They'll all be doing their best too to ignore the fact that the whole idea of free markets has been thoroughly shown to not work.

Some anarcho-punk will finally feel less like a poser because he threw a gas can back at the police.

The cops and the Dept of Precrime are really baiting the news with their incessant fearmongering, unattributed warnings like "We saw a posting on a website and got scared" but the most interesting this was in the news today that they will be taking down the CCTV network "because it is not legal" or some some dumb shit - my immediate impression is the State doesn'tt want a record of its provacateurs. And they are real, I've seen them in action here in NYC and in the Bay Area. They provoke in order to create a policeable reaction.

It will only create more chaos than there already is from East London to The Strand, and right into the city centre, especially with all the works being done to the water pipes along the way.
With this bunch of idiots promising ''a good punch-up'' with the coppers (quoting from the Evening Standard), it just means more commuter misery, and the inability to use public transport altogether for one day or more. Disruption is taking place already, what with companies refusing to do their daily deliveries as normal because they are guaranteed to have their drivers being stopped by the police. There was already a lot of chaos going this morning, just imagine what it will be like on the day. |

I don't have any sympathy for these idiots; what the hell are they protesting about? They seem so pathetic and childish.
