“London Falling”

In London, police arrested over 20 people among the few thousand protesting the G-20 summit, even breaking into the Royal Bank of Scotland as part of an “Abolish money” campaign. The bank break-in allowed the anti-capitalist vandals to get away with zero pounds.

Financial workers and bankers tried to help police by giving a description of law-breakers. This wasn’t very helpful, as it turned out, since they just described them all as “poor-looking.”

On the same day that President and Mrs. Obama met the Queen of England, in Central London, the RSC was painted with graffiti, windows were smashed, equipment was looted, and police were pelted with eggs and fruit. In a related story it’s amazing how far Europeans will go to make Americans feel at home.
