Amazing SKY NEWS coverage of protests 15 Years, 1 Month ago
incredible - SKY NEWS are talking to the PROTESTERS today and actually finding out WHY people are protesting.
The protests are also TOTALLY PEACEFUL and people are "DANCING ON INJUSTICE" in London today.
A powerful message from families - activists - academics and even RUSSELL BRAND - to the G20.
The PEOPLE of the WORLD have had enough of the INJUSTICE in the World created by the main Governments. War is wrong - ripping off poor people is wrong. We all need to take a long look at ourselves as a World and realise ( and I agree with JK on this totally ) that if we dont the World is going to destroy itself - if not through war through climate change or resources or disease.
Congrats to SKY NEWS for the best coverage of a protest I have ever seen by any new channel.

BBC coverage is ok too,just wish they would drop the "no violence so far" bit tho, as that's kind of tempting fate and could stoke things up a bit.
overall good tho, and a big wave to anyone who has protested or intends to do so.

The RIOT POLICE have moved in - hitting the protesters and so what was a very decent day looks as if it now may turn into a war as usual when the riot police join in. Hopefully no one will get hurt.
Some elements of the Police seem to be hellbent on fighting - and some of the protesters will certainly kick off by the looks.
Nothing actually happened yet but the Police have now upped the stakes.....real shame.

Shame that one person died - supposedly of a heart attack ( But that is one effect of TASERS ) so it may be interesting if the coroner is asked to do a report.
The Police certainly got nasty once it got dark - but the media is not broadcasting any of it today. It happened overnight and was covered but today it seems that it is being "blacked out" by the main media.
We live in such a controlled society. There are virtually no protests today. I wonder why ? those who protested yesterday had their names - addresses and photos taken and were told if they turned up today they would be arrested.......not a FREE society at all.
Even in Soviet Russia they may have had more rights to protest if they at least had the paperwork.

Well the people I saw on the news today protesting certainly didn't look like the sort who had any money anyway besides scrounging off the state.
I'd be checking to see how many were on benefits and them stopping them getting any handouts as they obviously have better things to do rather than look for work....

It didn't look very peacefull to me. There were 122 arrests and it cost the taxpayer £7million and has achieved nothing. Granted the bankers cost us a lot more than that,but 2 wrongs don't make a right.
