this is my 600th post!
The protests seem to be split into 2 distinct factions.
1: hippies - sitting about, drawing on the roads (in chalk, so it's not harmful to the local sparrows), holding plackards and chanting. Peaceful and rather amusing.
2: twats - anarchy in the UK types that goad & shout in the faces of the police, smash windows and generally act like total twats. using a peaceful organised protest as a shield for mindless violence and criminal damage is really low. these twats probably don't really care what the protest is about, they just want to go and break stuff.
twats.
- thankfully no one in Ipswich decided to hold a protest or mark the summit in any way... although someone did do an April Fools day, rush hour, bomb scare at the county court...
