G20 Protests

[Spy]

Protestors smashed windows of RBS went in side and apparently took computer equipment. I would assume they smashed this rather than took it home.

Also said on BBC some protestors got on the roof of RBS but didn't see footage of this.

It said on the news this morning that the bank workers had been told to dress down so that they were able to mingle in with the protesters to get in and out!

Sky news seem to be doing their live feed from a mobile phone camera. And not a good one at that

God I know - Its terrible - how are they getting away with just doing that? hurting my delicate eyes

Although I have heavily slated Brand I don't think its fair to say just cos someone's written a book they can't go to a protest or be into anti-capitalist ideas.

Its not the writing a book bit that makes him a hyporcritical cunt, its selling it for a profit. 

[Power to people]

Apparently protesters are throwing keyboards at the coppers and BoE has been smashed up....

RBS staff waving tenners out the windows at the unwashed casuing a riot is my favourite story of the day.

As the branch was closed and there were no staff in there, I think you've been sold a pup there Dazza. And p2p, BoE is fine, there were a couple of windows broken at RBS and some internal damage - couple of hard drives nicked according to the Beeb.

Just seen this on the news. Fucking do-gooders, when they are just as bad. The police should have smacked the cunts even more.

I was in London all day yesterday and all we really saw was some rally thing at Trafalgar Square.  I have to say all we really saw were scruffs, hippies with peace signs and people drinking lager there for the jolly up.
