What's going on in London?

[Louis VI the Fat]

“Consider this: all the people not curently working because their place of work is wrecked, yeah those thugs REALLY helped the poor.”

I think 'thugs' refers to the rioters. The usual suspects seized upon the protest to destroy some stuff. This means some people may not be able to perform their usual work today.

This 'grave attack on Britain's poor by Saturdays thugs' consists of a handful of people spending today cleaning up their workplace.


Possibly half a million hard working Britons - nurses, police officers, private business owners - travelled all the way down to London to let themselves be heard. It is not relevant to focus on the usual 2000 anarchists / squatters going through their weekly routine of trashing stuff. No more than one dismisses this weekend football events by pointing out the usual hooligan nonsense. Millions had great fun just watching a game.
