G-20

[Alyssa87]

why so much protestors in there? London is a big rich city of opportunity right? Many of my friends who have been there said you could easily be rich if you work hard there

Mostly environmental campaigners and Anti-Capitalists.

I was watching the coverage of the protests on CNBC and of course the talking heads on that show just don't get it. The people in the streets are not nutty anarchists. They seem to be regular folks that are fed up with the rich money boys in New York and London who have totally screwed up and don't seem to have to pay for any of their crimes. I think these kinds of reactions are going to get a lot worse as time goes by.

Not mostly regular folks...never is at these things.

American President shows up at the G-20 and surrenders all American sovereignty.. dumps another trillion dollars that we have to print, (only after asking the Chinese for permission), a roaring success. I wouldnt want to be our grandchildren.

A man is driving through Westminster when the G20 summit is on and gets stuck in a huge traffic jam.
A policeman comes over and taps on his window.
Rolling down the window, the man asks, "What's happening officer?"
The policeman replies. "A car Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling were travelling in swerved to avoid one of President Obamas outriders and hit an anti-terrorist bollard and caught fire, they are trapped inside it. We are taking a collection."
"How much would you like?" The man asks.
"Well," Says the policeman."most people are donating a gallon."
