Is anyone joining the demonstrations?

let's hope they are peaceful (tu)

People are angry and (given the use of vast sums of tax payers money) quite understandabley so.

I keep getting flashbacks of the poll tax riots... I hope it doesn't turn into another battle ground.

Sounds like small beer compared to what people are protesting about phil

Thinking of going there to get some action shots, should be fun, what with the right to take photos of the police taken away along with most of our other civil liberties, hopefully the trusty NUJ card will be of use.

the rugby bit I agree with..

I know of a department in a certain investment bank that has 2 international U21 front rowers , 1 ex welsh schoolboys no 8, and a couple of other rather large rugby lads.

im sure i wouldnt want to be the activist that disrupts their lunchbreak.
