Big problems with the Met (London) Police who were over aggressive and hostile despite an impeccably behaved crowd (myself excluded). I saw several people assaulted, including a girl who could have been no more than thirteen. The Met are being decimated by economic cutbacks just now and need a high profile hence the drama. It won't work. There is a horror of this kind of behaviour in Britain. They killed an innocent man, Ian Tomlinson, by beating him up on the street during a protest last year. That is still simmering. The world is watching.
LOL (myself excluded) This will get worse. The longer they stay bogged down in war. The stronger they have to appear at home. At least there are protests in the U.K. unlike here. Nationalism, Islamophobia, will be the call of the day on both sides of the pond. They have manufactured the perfect enemy of all time. It will take one honorable leader from one major country to change this effen mind set. Unfortunately I do not see one on the horizon.
No, I don't either. If Ed Milliband keeps going as he is at the moment here, he will prove to be an honourable man but won't get elected. Scottish independence now!
The clip does not work.
