http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/mar/22/g20-anti-globalisation-protests The Guardian's bigging up the G20 protests, with a fair amount of scare-mongering for good measure. Still, they say that there's no such thing as bad publicity...
'a rumoured plan to block the Blackwall Tunnel and cause a security scare on the London Underground by leaving bags unattended on trains'- didn't the hacks report this sort of nonsense during the runup to the last climate camp. Still, never mind, if a story's ficticious enough to run once, its ficticious enough to run again.
The Grauniad is certainly makiing the G20 protests look like they'll be impressive. They talk about 'leading protest group The Government of the Dead'- although they didn't report any of their previous escapes.
But never mind, this sort of publicity (especially as they include the full itinery) is worth a few thousand flyers at least...

So don't be surprised at the Guardian's muckraking - they have be doing it to animal rights activists for years.

Unusual for central London?
The only significant snow we've had in 18 years, in February stopped 20% of people going to worker, closed air ports, stopped all London busses and most tube trains, damaged trading on the stock exchange and cost the economy an estimated £1,000,000,000,000 in lost trade, so unprepared were we, for this now unusual event.
Well if the economy slowed down a bit, maybe, just maybe we would get more snow, as we should in February, who knows? But one things for sure; if the economy slowed down a bit, we'd have more time to think, and time spend our all too short lives with our families and friends away from traffic jams, airport queues and bickering bosses.
The employees of financial institutions would be well advised not to don their suits, not to go to work during in protest, tell their bosses to go to hell and join the meltdown!
You'd have to be mad to go to work on april 1st.

It is a time of extreme change. There is a 'think-tank'(?) report today that has been reported upon in the MSM, that rates countries by an imaginary index of disobedience by nationality. As if.
