Weds 1st April: G20 protests - discussion, reaction and chat

it's cunts like you who need to be slung in the thames. Cunt's who're so fucking gutless and completly fucking spineless, they'll just sit back and let TBTB do what ever the fuck they like, and just follow, like a good little citizen. Go kill yourself you useless surplus cuntoid.

this is planned dude, they want trouble, they expect trouble, they're going to cause it by penning people in and holding them there until it kicks off. Stay safe Ed, if it all goes tits up, get thee to a safe place

So disloyalty to the Labour government is "treason"?

You don't know what you are talking about. Try consulting a dictionary for a start.

Had to laugh at all the brave boys behind him, pushing him forward but staying well clear themselves !

The Chinese leader is elected? The Saudi king is elected? You don't know what you are atlking about. Can you stop posting drivel please?

There needs to be people at the top of that street preventing any more entering and allowing those squashed into it to exit- there are too many in it, only to find that when they get within 20 feet of the protest, they are met by a line of police telling them to go back up the street. The police should not be using that method of crowd control - it leads to frustrated crushed people. Idiotic and designed to produce frustration and injuries.

Hope they don't keep you for ages

but they probably will

If you can't say it without profanity, it's not worth saying.

Them behind just looked like teenagers wanting a fight...doubt their reasoning for being there was for the greater good....

Snow Plouuuugh!!!!!!!!!

So basically the police are creating confrontations and are stopping people from going about awfu*l protest?

I saw them on TV start clobbering people who had no way of backing off as they were being pushed from behind.

Not good.


*lawful (not awful)!

Fuck off.

Tell that to Bertrand Russel ya cunt

Bowdlerised, it's still spot-on.

Police officer tells protester he will have to urinate in the street as exits blocked. #imcg20 seems so?

not from what I've seen...seems like two lines protesters and polis...

protesters goading and spitting... police doing nothing...I'm praying for them to unleash on the wind up merchants

you wont be disapointed then. the hemming in and baitnig of the crowd is the reason this pregnant lady had to stay away

give 'em hell

That better, cunt?

I bet the police already know when they (ie the police) are going to kick off: its part of their standard procedure when they want to shut a protest down: start pushing people around and kettling them randomly, keep being arseholes until someone reacts then start baton charging everyone indiscriminately.

That way they can keep to a timetable for allowing a bit of 'peaceful protest', but then get to clear out the whole area and shut everything down, all the while blaming it on 'a small minoriy of violent protestors intent on trouble'.

For the last 30 min the BBC hasn't been showing anything (ie other news). It has just gone back there now.

and if you can't say it without being a provocotive arse, then don't say it at all.

you twattish little trolboy.

What is it with the Plods aggressive and over-handed tactics...?

much (though I prefered my version )

true - there was also some dick with a big silver rod/stick of some sort who was trying to hit the police then run back into the crowd - tis this sort of thing that causes it to all kick off tbh... tis a bit sad that people can't have a civilised protest without a bunch of wannabe revolutionaries acting like dicks and trying to start a fight with the police.

Actually the issues I care about, I lend my support to, in more ways than you would imagine. But that doesn't matter, because a lot more can be achieved from the comfort of your own home than disrupting tens of thousands of people's working day.
