On the streets!

Congratulations to all those involved in yesterday's demonstration in London. Even the Tory media are conceding that  there were at least a quarter of a million people there. According to the Morning Star one local union sent down 57 coaches. My wife went down and was joined by my daughter. Sadly I was on town twinning duty.

Much media attention has been focused on the two or three hundred tossers who apparently believed that vandalising a few shops and banks in central London would somehow help the dinner ladies now facing redundancy. I don't thing we yet know the full story.

I really do wonder if these people are being co-ordinated by Special Branch. Take a look at Sky News coverage. Notice how much leeway they seem to have. They are able to carry offensive weapons without a challenge. Note too how a group manage to attack a bank branch surrounded by cameramen but not a policeman to be seen. It all seems too neat, I do wonder if the same forces were at work during the student protests last year.

Have you considered the possibility that the Liberal Lamestream Media were co-operating with rioters? It happens a lot in Israel and the West Bank. Many 'incidents' have been set up for the cameras to make the Israelis look bad.

Might I remind you that the police are moaning about the cuts. Do they want a riot to make their point?

We can spin this all sorts of ways.
