Default Riots Predicted for the G20 Meeting

A friend of mine who works in the City had this memo go around, looks like swampy and Co. are planning some anarchy.


Internal Announcement - Information from the City of London Police

We have been informed by the Police that protests linked to the G20 summit will be taking place in London commencing 28th March, with some disruption expected. From the City of London's perspective we are likely to witness most activity on the 01st & 02nd April.
On the 01st protestors intend to hold a 24 hr 'Reclaim the Streets' event in the City, commencing at 11:00 hrs with several gatherings taking place at the tube/train stations of Liverpool Street, London Bridge, Cannon Street and Moorgate. Each group will then make their way to the Bank of England at 12:00 hrs for a street party followed by an overnight vigil in the City with attendees bringing tents to sleep in .
Intelligence also suggests climate related protests and actions at RBS's offices and the European Carbon Exchange in Bishopsgate and also at the ExCel centre.

The Police advise us that they do not anticipate widespread public disorder, however they have recommended a number of precautions and in line with their recommendations staff are advised:
    As a precautionary measure building security arrangements will be enhanced and a larger Police presence will be in evidence during this period.
    Group Security


    You've got to love the 'do not provoke them' advise
