Occupy London

it will be similar to last year, but worse. More people will get involved. There will be riots again. The occupy shit is just gonna get bigger. Unemployment has risen today to  a 17 year high according to todays news.

The only reason occupy has gone quiet is cos of the weather, IMO. Once the warm weather comes more people will take to the streets, especially with the amount being spent on the olympics.

You can bet your life if we have any riots this year, the police/army will steam in and kick some heads, knowing the public will be behind them.

fucking bullshit.

YOU don't count as 'the public'. The minority in London won't be backing them, but the rest of the country will. Doing shit like burning innocent pensioners houses down.... of course they will get the public backing them.

I can link video's to the riots withs 1000's of dislikes, but I can link videos of chav's getting smashed up by riot cops with hundreds of thousands likes, so don't be preaching about the public because your in the minority.

At best a lack luster bit of protesting, for most people all this isn't on their radar. I doubt we'll see riots of the scale witnessed recently, that was just kids on the rob with no agenda.  

I disagree 100%.

Tough shit if you disagree. Last time, the Army nearly got called in, however it was 'good real time training' for cops, and they didn't want to be seen not having control on their own.... however, as soon as lives start getting taken, martial law can be called with immediate effect, see who's out thinking they are hard once police/Army get crown immunity from shooting people not sticking to curfew.

He is 100% right, it will never be MASS scale. Just a few hundred nobheads achieving NOTHING, like last time.

Your only looking at one side of the argument though. Yes I admit there are idiots just causing trouble, but the news just focuses on that, the actual message they are trying to put across is made out to be 'they dont know what they're protesting about' when that is absolute bullshit!

Forget about the riots for a second. When you see where all the money is going you've got to agree that what the real argument is about is justified. I mean read this http://www.unelected.org/audit-of-the-federal-reserve-reveals-16-trillion-in-secret-bailouts

If you actually read that and understand it, you would see that the Federal Reserve between 2007 and 2010 handed out over 16 Trillion Dollars to various banks and institutions, and some of those had absolutley fuck all to do with America. That works out about 140 000 dollars for every man, woman and child in America. And that money was pretty much magically created out of thin air has made absolutely no difference on the worldwide economy whatsoever, and if you think the American Dollar has no effect on the UK, you should check again.

That kind of money could be used for so much better purposes, there are so many that it would be pointless to list them all, just have a think for yourselves what that kind of money would really do!!!!

 You're not preaching to uneducated people with this stuff. It's not some startling realisation you're presenting here.  

The fact is you'd get more unified uproar if Eastenders/Coronation street was cancelled. Doesn't make it right.  

Im not preaching to anybody, and just because you may be aware of it doesnt mean others are!

iI agree with the fact more people would be bothered if coro was cancelled though. Which just goes to show the fucked up situation we're in.

If this does all happen and the army gets involved then I suggest anybody remotely involved in any of the rioting/criminal activities not even fart the wrong way or you'll have a squaddie making your life a absolute misery in seconds.

Believe me and I cant be arsed responding to tosser's who come out with comments like the army are fuck all etc or they wont have the power or durastiction. They will and unless you have served a few years in the army you have no idea of the consequences for the scum that get out of hand like last time.

So I've been led to believe the riots last year & the occupy protests are two completely different, unrelated events:

- one a bunch of yobs out to steal after some guy got shot in tottenham

- the other is an anti capitalist protest

Got no problem with protests - its a right we all have living in a free country - but the riots?  Nah, not good if they happen again.

They are defo 2 two seperate things, its just the riots get all the attention.

pissed at the government for spending money so you loot from people that have nothing to do with the situation.

impressive logic.
