Previous | Next :: Riot Cops Mass for a Charge : Protest/Riot against the National Front : South London | April 2, 2009, 1:21 am

Today was a bit of a hassle shooting in DC then dash to the airport to fly out ........ the blossom in DC by the Jefferson Memorial is amazing but sadly didn\'t get time for looking properly at any of that......... and it was raining like mad as I burned to the airport.... so that may have done it all in by now........

Anyway...... Im on a flight down to the big ATL now........ hopefully Matt will be at Hartfield Jackson (Atlanta International) Airport to pick me up........ he\'s a good bloke Matt...... pretty reliable too...... Im always late if I ever meet people off flights........ I have been on time to meet Matt .... I think.... but not always........

Hopefully Matt has found me a riot cop picture or anarchist image........ as he said he would dig one out after he and I were chatting about the anti-capitalist protesters and rioters that gather at these global leaders meetings like the G20........ London is always good for a few anarchist types...... I remember years back during the UK Anti Poll Tax demos......... and other events later that drew militant anti road protesters and the anti capitalist anti globalization crew...... the great British public is always good for a bit of rioting.

Todays G20 meeting is a classic event to attract protesters....... I saw some pics of people smashing the windows of the Bank of Scotland in the City.......... and seperately I also head on the radio that the financial transactions that BoS was involved in before being swamped by debt were 200% the GDP of the entire UK surely that can\'t be right?....... er........ that really is outragous...... too big to fail is one of those expressions you hear........ then you hear that that one British Bank is involved in transactions and debt at this huge amount........ 200% of the entire nations GDP.......er....... Im not sure what the ratios were in Iceland?......... it makes you wonder if BoS goes down...... will it go down taking the whole of Britain\'s economy with it..........?

Im not sure what the point of breaking the windows at the bank is........ but you kind of get an inkling of why they might feel like it.......... :-/ :-) :-))
