Re: G20 Protests

If there is any violence at these protests it sin't going to be started by people that care one bit about the agenda of the G20. It will be started by the groups of thugs that run around hijacking any protest for the chance to kick off some trouble.

Re: G20 Protests

Who pays for the police? I am a member of various ex servicemans associations & if we have a orderly parade we have to pay for the police.If we said we were protesting about something would we get the police for free?

Re: G20 Protests

Security is tight around Stansted, cops going through the scrub land with a fine tooth comb, ANPR vehicles everywhere I even saw a kent police car.

Ieven saw them inside the perimiter fence.

Re: G20 Protests

Some banks are closed, Not many places shut or boarded up though and this is just down from the Bank of England. Police on a lot of corners.

Yeah some of the Police bloggers are pretty pessimistic about things.
