A new dawn.

Today we saw something very interesting.


52000 citizens took to the streets and said: we are not playing your game and we do not find it acceptable.



Some of them went on to stage a bit of a party, smashed up a building and indulged in a bit of a riot.


Sadly some Police officers got hurt, about 7 and so far nothing serious.



Something that really really struck me though was the level of policing, having done the odd demo myself, I was a bit bemused to watch it all live.

Really there should have been a hell of a lot more Police round the front of the building and did they really not have vans and vans of blue uniform thugs round the back.

I am prompted to wonder if, with lots of them thinking their redundancy notices are in the post, the police decided to let the thing ride.


The other option being that the government let it all run out of control so as to change the focus from the poverty they intend to impose on the country to the people who are (unreasonably of course)  against them.

Of course the populace might not take such a view.

Sadly, I doubt that; we have become sheep.
