Its only getting better,eh?
RBS building – OWNED.
Beginning of a New Era… Here we come!
I am unaware of this, what is this all about?
Violence will only give em’ the excuse to move towards a police state.
Tomorrow will be interesting, Asia’s rippin it up…futures holding…M2M adjustments can’t do anything but wall paper the dungeon. SRS/FAZ getting tempting
Notice all the cameras around, especially in the attack against the RBS building. The media was expecting violence, and they got it. A self-fulfilling prophecy, if you will. Now they have their ‘violence’ story and they get to hype it up.
I was following The Guardian’s live blog and a couple of their entries highlighted this as well:
“4.28pm:
On Twitter, Snufkin21 says Stop the War protesters booed the media present “for hyping up the G20 violence”. The huge media presence has been criticised by a number of people on Twitter who believe it’s encouraged extreme elements to “play to the gallery”.”
“5.25pm:
Now that the media have got their pictures of police and protesters clashing outside the BofE and RBS a lot of news organisations seem to have lost interest in the demonstrations.”
This looks to be shaping up to be another ‘Battle of Seattle’, with the protest and the associated violence overshadowing the actual event and issues. Hooray. Now we just need a major news organization to start spreading molotov cocktail rumors and the picture will be complete (a la the NYT in 1999).
Let’s hear it for mob mentality and a bit of the good ol’ violence!
The London riots in the financial district were publicly planned to coincide with the G20 summit.
Supposedly there were police intelligence officers undercover in the mob secretly taking pictures of the rioters.
SSDD – It’s good to see ‘Anarchy in the UK’ is alive and well. Back in the old days they needed to wait for the afternoon papers and the news at 6:00 to get the pictures out. Now, they can post them to their blogs from their euro smart phones.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
You didn’t really, did ya, give up trading??!? Oh, say it ain’t so, please, say it ain’t so!
