supra_aero Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Who thinks a riot will escalate? I am one block from Bank. Its eerie. Most of my office don't seem to care but lunch break time is approaching and so are the protesters. And yes I work for a bank . I personally can see riots or at least a few arrests. I'd say give it an hour or two before the action starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_aero Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 If its RBS I'd wear a crash helmet! RBS employees have all been told to stay home - I know as my bro works for them. So every RBS city office is empty. One good thing they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_aero Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 whats the G20 about? sorry for not knowing but it involves politicians and I fall asleep at just the mention of the word! World leaders meeting today at excel in London to discuss how to get out of this financial downturn basically. People protesting I guess are showing their frustration of how the "banks" got us into this mess. Obviously their lack of knowledge and understanding is shown wholeheartedly with the grubby clothes and haircuts they portray - haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They assure me its not for fashion purposes Very tempted to go down and have a look but I fear I may not come back to tell the story - lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAT Inter Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Screw these, Arwen 37 Riot Gun: http://www.dreadgazebo.com/gunporn/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/arwen_7x.jpg The Police need to use these, .50 Cal Placement gun: http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m-2-50cal-dvic550.jpg Always angers me how the police can let protesters cause so so much disruption. If you look closely its full of hippies and arseholes. Also kep a close aye, both people who are there and those watching on TV, for Communist and Socialist party banners and flags which there will be plenty of. These are the people who help organise these protests. Also many other "causes" come out of the wood work for these ones just to get themselves noticed in th public eye.

supra_aero Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Its literally at breaking point if its'll reach full blown riot or not. Agree police should be able to user better weapons than batons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_aero Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Im getting really wound up by all ths now. Its $#@!ing ridiculous. To be fair, there's nothing wrong with a quiet protest but we all know this isn't going to be a quiet protest! Why are they camping out there?! Stupid. What do they expect to achieve ?!

creative Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 isnt it just! did you see the scroat that was fully face covered? if its a peacefull protest why go dressed like that? good to see that at least 3 coppers were watching him tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edd_t Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 we currently have a small group (maybe 10 odd) of gypsy looking people (not wanting to sound offensive) sitting outside our place ranting at a university next door. very weird! they have a mega phone and one has a bike with a big banner attached saying 'Love your mum' hahahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Half of these idiots aren't even there to protest, ask them why they are there and they can't give an answer. Police should shoot them, that's a fair chunk of the 18-25 unemployed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
