***** The official G20 Incidents Thread ******

Think it just kicked off there again, new area

Marvellous. More popcorn anyone?

[NotAllThere]

Hmmm.. just realised no calls from pimps today, have they all slacked off then?

I just had lunch with a couple in Basel. I guess they've all skipped the country just to be sure.

They certainly did when I worked in one a few years back.

Expect magnetic locks and swipe card systems to get around inside. Wouldn't expect them to get past the ground floor, if that.

Bishopsgate office is a piece of piss to get into, waist level barriers (easily vaulted) then no swipe security in the lift.

Probably can't get onto the actual floors but they'd be able to move around and set off alarms etc...

seriously though, you must have balls for brains if you honestly believe all the protesters out there are crusties, communists, students or whatever ridiculous leftie bogeymen your fevered imaginations like to scare you with at night.

I'm sure there are some genuinely angry people who hold people like Fred the shred responsible for the loss of their livelyhoods. The credit crunch has had a serious affect on a lot of people

However all the ones I've seen interviewed so far when asked why they are protesting today can't actually answer the question except to say things like

"Because we have the right to protest and we're going to!"

Interviewer - So why have you come out to protest today?

Protester - Because we have the right to exercise our right to protest

Interviewer - OK so what are your actual reasons to come here and protest?

Protester - Because we have the right to exercise our right to protest

Interviewer - So why have you chosen to come and protest outside RBS?

Protester - eerrrm, errrr.... we're trying to get to the other end of the road..

I hear the climate change protesters in tents on Bishopsgate are handing out leaflets explaining what they're up to and requesting food donations.

I say the city boys should lay on some luxury hampers packed with the finest foodstuffs for them...

...laced with powerful laxatives.

PLEASE BE MY FRIEND, CITY BOYS

I was expecting a better match than this, totally no attacking and nobody has tried to win this one.

PLEASE BE MY FRIEND, CITY BOYS

You want to be their friends? You think I want to be theirs?

Nope, I just want to see the protesters running around in panic as their bottoms explode on live TV. For fun.
