So, let's reflect on this "action" boys and girls. What was accomplished? The blocs allaccomplished what exactly? Marched from A to B and I bet that that has the filth and the G20 quaking in their finest leather boots.
"Ooooh - they are protesting"
"No, really?"
"Yes - see there they go!"
"Thank god that they didn't actually do anything"
"OK back to bed boys (& girl)"
No doubt, this will be a mere variant on the dominant theme - so what really was accomplished here? A piss poor turn out, a great deal of frantic hype, but nothing on the ground? So much for the hyped summer of rage ... just an orderly march within the boundaries so carefully negotiated with the cops.
Did that make anyone have an epiphany? Has anyone seen the light, the error of the old ways and the necessity for change?
Has this helped herald in a new era of Aquarius, an era of fairness, equity, peace, tolerance? No - not the fuck it has. Instead, all the participants can wank themselves off thinking that they made a difference.
I've maintained on these fora before, countless times, such that I am already boring myself, that we should actually do something ... and a little march with our respective blocs is definitely not that thing.
V for Vendetta, Guy Fawkes ... now there's some English spirit for the masses. Burn the fuckers in their cozy HP, their rich enclaves, their police state enclosures.
There's some sport after all, matey. Now where is my blasted shotgun - I remain hopeful for a turkey shoot.

Was this lady fined?

"You can't say that, miss, it's a State Secret!"
This was outside the Institute of Electrical Engineers. The Filth had just confiscated her banner on the grounds that it was "offensive", and are obviously using her passport as proof of identity. Was she being given a spot fine?
Presumably the slogans "Fuck the System" and "Bankers are Wankers" was more than the Old Bill could tolerate.
