    Did these marches actually take place then?
    I get confused with these protests at times, what's real and what isn't. I probably watch too many zombie films.

    Right. So when someone posts "the BBC didn't report the Day of Rage!!" it was because all the protestors threw a sickie...

    I've searched for evidence but all I get back is 'dAy of Rage is planned' 'activists are planning', but nothing about it actually happening.

    You have to go to the nation's information center: MFJ protesters clash with police in London | Daily Mail Online

    This was actually the main story but seems to have been relegated to somewhere between Kim Largearse and Ant Druggie as the lefties didn't go tulip crazy and pee on some monument

    They all gathered at a local crèche and had incredible rages.

    These guys were the worst. Never did any reclaim the streets.

    That's cos the protesters were clearly not middle class enough.


    Seems the promotional program is a fail then!
    Actually I found it quite interesting the majority of crime depicted was gang, mental health or scrotes on mopeds.

    Yep but if you get a recording of the police up to no good make sure you send it to a National Newspaper for your own safety.

    The police do the same.
