That's just a normal branch of RBS... there goes any fucking credibility to those protestors...
When did 'Class War' have any credibility?! They'd hate me automatically for having the wrong accent.
Most of the people watching are not linked to 'class war' - they are bystanding protestors watching the spectacle.
Riot police were holding back - now moved in to cordon off the bank. Most people moving on peacefully.

What exactly are you doing to change the world by being on this thread then?
Just been for a wander, I'll get some photos up soon.
Quite lively down Threadneedle Street, looks like it will kick off down there. Saw three vanloads of OB getting kitted out in riot gear as I walked up towards Bishopsgate, which has more of a carnival atmosphere. Very quiet elsewhere, business as usual really apart from more people in casual clothes.
Saw a copper being treated for a head injury on the corner of Fenchurch Street and Gracechurch Street. South Wales police in attendance.

I agree with you - every other business boarded up.

that particular group are ruining it tbh...
Smashing the windows of a bank and removing computer equipment from the desks - will be interesting to see what the police do in response to that - some nobber has written "Class War" on the wall too - if they get a kicking from the riot squad then I'm not going to lose any sleep over it as they are basically helping to ruin the protests for everyone else

Very few were boarded up that I saw.
Bishopsgate, that's the Climate Camp right?

Yes, I saw that - although the second guy asked the reporter a good question when they were talking about the freedom to protest, and that never got answered...

I think the issue here is that pertty much everyone has brought to this thread what they wanted to bring and not paid any attention to facts that don't fit their mindset.
thats just their flagship branch, no HQ by any means
maybe they've not got this wrong:

Human rights abuses, financial fraud, endless crimes... fits the agenda perfectly.

It can be quite hard to do when you're not used to being interviewed on camera and things are getting a bit exciting. Not to mention the fact that they tend to do their best to find people who don't know what they're on about.

The yank claimed there were half a million protestors

Yeah I thought that, they all seemed quite het up so it's probably hard to concentrate on a good explanation. They just started to talk to someone quite interesting but he got interrupted by it kicking off.

The second guy - that's how some people see the situation - he wasn't as articulate as others might have been, but his view is valid, (I know you agree).
