G20 MELTDOWN IN THE CITY

 

ON APRIL 1ST, THE G20 ARE COMING TO LONDON TO FACE UP TO ECONOMIC CRISIS AND POLITICAL MELTDOWN

 

Lost your home? Lost your job? Lost your savings or your pension? This party is for you!

Capitalism has been heating up our world for years, melting the icecaps, burning up the rainforests, pushing the planet to tipping point. Now we're going to put the heat on them. At the London Summit , the G20 ministers are trying to get away with the biggest April Fools trick of all time. Their tax-dodging, bonus-guzzling, pension-pinching, unregulated free market world's in meltdown, and those fools think we're going to bail them out. They've gotta be joking!

We can't pay, we won't pay and we are taking to the streets

Many, many imaginative actions will be taking place across London on April 1st. One major focus will be four separate carnival parades culminating in direct action against the financial follies in the City of London among them carbon trading.

Full circle back to 1649? 'A very English revolution!'

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will lead themed processions starting at 11 a.m. from the following rail stations:

  • Moorgate 
    Red horse against War;
  • Liverpool St 
    Green horse against Climate chaos
  • London Bridge 
    Silver horse against Financial crimes
  • Cannon Street 
    Black horse against land enclosures and borders in honour of the 360th full circle anniversary of the Diggers

At 12 noon, April 1st, we're going to reclaim the City, thrusting into the very belly of the beast: the Bank of England. Click here (or above right) for one of the many posters sent to this website.

Early a.m. April 2nd, we're going to bang on their hotel doors, @ the Excel Centre, Canning town to deliver our message of a world beyond capitalism.

Ocho-Onda,

At least those folks have the freedom to assemble and to voice their discontent without facing the risk of arrest, unless there is some untoward incident of course.

Things are going downhill and I reckon will hit rock bottom only next year.

Most depressing!

*sighs*

The word on the streets, to the bankers,over here is, " you did not share your wealth, why should we share your pain " !?!

Those responsible will pay for their misdeeds because people are beginning to question the purpose of all these huge bail outs and who are the real beneficiaries !?!

Paula,
that's where you're wrong my dear. In Malaysia, if it's just imaginative action, then we are allowed to do anything we feel like. We don't even have to apply for a police permit. Wonderful being a Malaysian right! :)

Cheers

Like they say, there's always more than one way to skin a cat,lol. But sadly, in Boleh-land that only applies to people with common sense ! :-(
