Cool Protesters In London

As part of our planning we've been looking for times/locations of demos over the coming 2 days. Some of the websites we've seen are very organised, some are just plain odd. Anyway, we've started to see "strange" looking people with banners wandering down the road towards the City already - we're in Aldgate/Whitechapel Road.

Wonder if its going to kick off!

Anyone else seen any eco protesters?

Just looking at the groups gathering on TV now, if that lot dont kick off I will be REALLY suprised. Not right to judge a book by its cover, but sometimes its just stupid not to anticipate lol.

Work should be fun today!

Was in my client on Newgate street yesterday and they were all getting emails on how to best get into work, avoid the marches etc.

I think there was a second set of emails going around on how they all wanted to come in with jeans on and donkey jackets and start some protests themselves...and this is a very big insurance company

I hate these Eco-Nutters. They're going to smash up shops, businesses, and attack people just for having a job. Unlike most Eco-Nutters.

Gordon should give the command.

Gun.
Aim at protester.
Fire.

I cant understand why they are getting angry with the police, The police are just guys making £1400 a month, they didnt lose anyones money.

Plus I just saw a guy in a YSL hoodie with a sign that said Abolish money. It was funny.

The finance sector has pretty much eradicated money... so whats the protest about anyway. They dont want money anymore, we dont have money anymore...Jobs a good'en

You have to marvel at the arrogance of those "bankers" waving handfuls of money at the protesters. I think it sums up all that's wrong in the financial sector.

Is anyone else watching the live feed. I will tell you who is scum. The dirty unwashed uneducated *** heads that are there for one reason, To fight police.
They achieve nothing, They deserve to get an asp around the head.
Is this how they think the country will change......
One fella keeps running out of the crowd with a massive stick swinging at police and then running behind some girls that are shouting.
What a tough guy, he really wants to stand up and be counted.... coward, Stupid un educated coward.

Yep, when confronted with images like that, one has to remember that ideas are not responsible for those who believe in them!

Always makes me laugh, climate change people damaging property and smashing windows to "make a point" But do they have any idea how much energy is needed for the clean up operation, and to make the high quality custom windows to replace the ones they have smashed?

Idiots.

As for attacking the police.... disgusing way to behave, and they deserve every baton strike they get!
