... “We Won’t Pay For Their Crisis!”
On Thursday 2nd of April the G20 (or G22) are descending on the city in a Summit to address the current global Crisis, and to discuss how to “re-stabilise” the world economy and how to re-write the rules of global Capitalism, whilst thousands of people are losing their jobs and homes on a daily basis.
Amid the biggest police operation to be launched in London for over a decade, many UK wide groups and organisations have joined forces for several days of protests and events starting on Saturday 28th until Thursday 2nd, to show a clear rejection to the G20’s ‘solutions’, as well as to propose ways out to the current economic and social situation that go beyond the ‘logic’ of Capitalism.

Meanwhile, and as it has become the norm, mainstream and corporate media have been involved in an unsubstantiated scaremongering campaign prior to the six days of protests and events.
Some fine examples of this include: The Daily Express’s MI5 Alrert On Bank Riots, The Telegraph’s Activists plot G20 summit mass protests against bankers in City and Police brace themselves for ’summer of rage’ against economic crisis, and the Evening Standard’s Anarchists plan City demo for G20 leaders’ arrival in London.
