I dont really think its good news, I think it may be a catalyst for the country descending into anarchy, what is called for is strict regulation of banks and finance houses, complete transperency and frequent audit, not personal and physical retribution.

We are in a recession, its no one persons fault, creating a scapegoat may sate the baying mobs bloodlust but it wont do any good, I fear there may be wholesale destruction of property, injuries and loss of life as people protest over the next few months, into the bargain whils they are at it I suspect they may get a nice new telly, burn a few expensive cars that someone will have to pay for, anything destoryed is wasted, anyone injured costs money to fix, anyone killed takes Police time and money to investigate so it may make someone feel better but it serves no purpose.

These kind of situation get whipped up by the "anti" brigade, anti capitalism, well they should be chuffed, capitalism has had a major hiccup due to greediness, but these ********* whipping the gullible into a fury and setting them off wont help, I am quite suspicious of that type, I sometimes just think they hate capitalism as they arent any good at it, jealousy, ok nobody likes to see the fat Bast4rds eating all the pie and something needs to happen but when a banker and his family are murdered in their beds then I think its gone a bit wrong.

It isnt as I said one persons fault, its collective with some more cupable than others, Bankers, goverment etc yes but ditto the pillocks who borrowed to the hilt, those who work and claim benefits they arent entitled to, those who sit and do nothing and just take, those who commit crime, those who are greedy and I think we are all in some minor way part responsible, I myself am peed off for loosing money on shares, maybe thats me being greedy ?

People need to take a long hard look at themselves, especially the crusties that are going to raise hell during the summit,the money men and government may have fooked up but they have probably done better than a bunch of middle aged perpetual students, the whole world cannot run on Whole Food Cooperatives and live in dung huts whilst living off the state or a trust fund that they keep quiet.

Lot of good points there J4CKO. The authorities are already tooling up for suppression of anarchic protests too.
