G20 Summit Protests
Over the last few days the media has hyped up that there will be 1000s of protesters outside the Bank of England today. As you can probably see from all the pictures that almost every building windows nearby have been boarded up. I still remember the previous protests and the police riots too, it was a very aggressive atmosphere. But now we are in the 21st century with modern technology surrounding us and police security sharper than ever, I can’t really see much physically damage.
Apparently there is a shortage of policemen in London and many different police forces have joined together. It’s all sounding a bit like the Lord of the Rings : Two Towers when the army marches towards the enemy gates! watching BBC News this morning and the reporter was saying city workers have dressed down to avoid being seen as a target. I mean seriously come on, it’s all a bit too much no? Well I guess we still have to witness to see what is left over after today.
If a particular group of individuals do start kicking things off, I’m sure city police will have it all under control. I guess many folks will visit the city today just to see the whole parade of protesters gathering. With Obama in town security is at it’s peak and I doubt anything serious will occur from this. However we all believe in something and I back these protesters for what they do! Last week the Union of Shop Distributive and Allied Wrokers group were handing out flags for the protest. It’s a beautiful day in London and I’m sure we are to expect thousands flogging from around town. Protests like these are the only way the government ever listens. They UK is a democracy country, but no-one really has their say. If your a true believer and not just one fo those lazy people, do something about it today and come to London and let your voice be heard. We are Londoners!!!!
