The government are a bunch of bankers

According to signs I saw today, or words to that effect.

Low key demos, with perhaps one person strumming a guitar quietly and a small group of people sitting around, and two tents.

Clever slogan though.

Also saw: it's not a recession its robbery*.

Looks like the Greeks have been somewhat less peaceable today:


There's that bloody fire extinguisher again

Edit: it's Rome actually. I thought the Greeks were revolting

Turns out it's Italians that are revolting. As I always suspected.

(I added an edit to reflect that in my post).

I find the morons behind occupy hilarious ....

I would like to meet the people that started this off the back of other recent protests. I would like to know if:

- They truly believe what they are spouting and in that case, are pure morons.

- Or are associated with governments or financial institutions, using peoples fears about the recession, to subvert feeble minded members of society in to demonstrating against the finance sector and whipping everyone in to a frenzy deliberately, so a universal currency and unbalanced western trading could topple growing financial powers in the east.



The latter is very likely. MI6 showed us that when it came to the truth behind the 9/11 movement.

Just dont be your usual obnoxious self, else you may get murdered by a taxi driver

I suspect the usual culprits - stupidity (on the part of the demonstrators) and incompetence (on the part of government).

Excellent tweet from the protesters yesterday - "we need toilet paper, tents, blankets, food water - please send some if you can"

Looks like they really thought this through
