Personally I'd chuck the lot of em in detention under the anti-terror legislation for a week.

I have no problem with proper demonstrations but the anti-capitalist mob are a weird mish-mash with a fair chunk just wanting to cause trouble and damage.

Police state? probably but on the other hand why should the majority be impacted and inconvenienced by a bunch of criminal idiots?

 

[Tom]

I wonder how many of the protesters will have a job, or indeed any fucking clue whatsoever.

 

[Scouse]

Ah, the dyed-in-the-wool capitalists rush to trash well-meaning people with intellectual ideals that may be very well thought out. Hey, at least they're not blowing shit up, as opposed to walking peacefully through the capital attempting to demonstrate their feelings as democratically as possible...

...I'm anti-capitalist, well educated and well-off enough to not have had to work for 18 months. I stand to lose massively if capitalism goes tits-up. But I wouldn't cry, I'd cheer in the streets. Capitalism is so fucked up we need to change it immediately.

Unfortunately, it's the rich who make the decisions...

 

[Wij]

Yes, bring back the feudal system.

 

[Furr]

Yes, bring back the feudal system.

Don't be daft, pfff.. Hunter Gather lifestyle is obviously the best, I know because I'm educated, well off and have no worries about money. I'd cheer in the streets. the state not owning everything is so fucked up we need to change it immediately.

Unfortunately, it's the wizards who make the decisions...

Did you know I read the Guardian too?

 

[rynnor]

I think the thing that bugs me about the anti-cap mob is that they present no viable alternatives in the event they ever won.

Communism - yeah that worked well

Though I agree, peaceful protest is fine regardless of what they're protesting, I am interested to hear what you think is a better solution? I'd have thought capitalism, like democracy, is the "least worst" system.

You are absolutely barking if you think the protests will be remotely peaceful. Sales of plywood to mask broken windows will be through the roof.

Oooh maybe the groups are infiltrated by agent provacateur glaziers hoping to generate some work?

 

[Ch3tan]

#i would have no issue with peaceful protests, but they will not be. Not with some of the messages the groups are putting out, especially the anarchy groups.

 

[Furr]

If it's peaceful I'll get an image of Goatse tattooed on my forehead*




*well.. not really...

Fuck that. All they are going to do is shout and make noise and annoy people for a day. They're not going to loot anything (theres nothing TO loot around there except 5000 starbucks) or hurt anyone. It's pretty much a legitimate protest.

Given the magnitude of the ballsup they are moaning about I'd say a couple of days of pretend-rioting is fair dos.

I might even take the day off from work to join them and take some photos. See if I can land myself in jail

lol yeah right. it may START as a legit demonstration, untill the hooligans find out about it and decide to "demonstrate" some aswell.



its guaranteed to happen, theres not a soul on earth that can prevent violence to ensue after a while.

I think you are entirely wrong and there will be a lot of damage - lets see who's right eh?

 

[Wij]

Anarchism is just an excuse not to get a job.

 

[mr.Blacky]

Anarchism is just an excuse not to get a job.

or to go and work for a bank

 

[RandomBastard]

Anarchy always reminds me of xXx (the vin diesel film not pr0n, filthy fuckers)

"America stands for freedom
but if you think you're free
try walking into a deli
and urinating on the cheese"

Personally if that's freedom, viva el presidente...

(and that goes for swaffled cheese too )

 

[Jeros]

"anarchy in the uk! *BANG*"

 

[Chilly]

I think you are entirely wrong and there will be a lot of damage - lets see who's right eh?

Lets.

As an aside: IF there is rioting, I think it's well earned by the government for the magnitude of their incompetence. They didnt listen to almost a million people peacefully protesting before we attacekd iraq, so they sure as shit wont listen to a few nuttes in tie-die tshirts with smelly hair. Maybe we need a riot? Who cares if afew buildings get trashed? Round there its all big business (mostly) anyway.


Meh. Bring it on! I still dont reckon itl go that far tho.

 

[Macey]

Even if there is no damage, something will happen which will spark a reaction by the police which will lead to them all being penned in and isolated in some area of london for hours like the last time a protest happened down there. The Met dont mess around when they think therell be trouble, especially not with 20 world leaders down the road, and the whole world waiting to see whether they all get blown up by Osama.

 

[rynnor]

Only seriously massive prolonged demonstrations where the middle class also demonstrate ever achieve anything.

The G20 protests are not on this scale and are pursued by a tiny minority and are therefore pointless.

Many of the idiots in the more militant groups are just kids - they'll eventually grow into middle aged middle classers with jobs just like Swampy

 

[Scouse]

Well then. After the demonstration lets see how the cards settled?:

...er, lets:

Police said one man was arrested during the march for being drunk and disorderly

Mmmmmmm. Tasty irony, Losers

I'd take it further but you lot would try to subvert it in an effort to redeem yourselves and your childlike, uninformed, prejudiced opinions from abject ownage!

 

[Gumbo]

Um, that's not the demonstrations I was referring to, the summit isn't until 2nd April. That's when it's going to kick off.

Had a quick google, seems the major protests are planned for the 1st including this one http://www.g-20meltdown.org/ . I draw your attention to the phrase 'culminating in direct action against the financial follies in the City of London' I doubt that means throwing flowers at the feet of bankers.

Direct Action eh?

Sounds like a winner to me! I'll look forward to 'em!

I won't - I work not far from Moorgate

 

[Scouse]

Y'know - they're not going to be attacking people - maybe a few windows here and there.

I'd love it if I was sat in the office working to look up and see a chair come through a window

Nice sentiment, particularly as motor car insurance does not cover instances of rioting.

I suggest that it's the insurers that are at fault here. Riots are hardly uncommon in the big scheme of things.

Funny that, I'd say it's the retard smashing the shit out of the car owned by some random person, not "teh evul corporashun!"
