  Americans are demonstrating against growing inequality,austerity,unemployment,tax injustice and a political elite who ignores its citizens ( Joe Public )..................sound familiar?.........comes to London.
  
  The message will be ``equality and justice for all..............eg. `` Lets all be in it together ``

  didn't really take off over here as it has elsewhere.
  
  i suspect the worldwide movement will grow as more austerity measures kick in.

  Well I did say that there should be a one-off super tax of the extremely rich. It wouldn't solve all the roots of the economic problems, but would be a good medicine to making society fairer.
  
  The Establishment is beginning to shake. I hope it all remains within denocracy and peaceful speech, and doesn't degenerate into violence.

  Across the world the indignant rise up against Corporate Greed ( Banks ) and cuts.
  
  Demonstrations in 82 Countries.
  
  Protests are very positive a desire to build not smash.
  
  The world and his brother must be wrong.
  
  After 18 months of obsessive propaganda .............we all know...........its Gordon Brown`s fault.

  i was quite impressed by a spokesman for the protestors in london, wasn't the usual rent-a-mob type.
  
  difficult to see how it will end, it seems that ordinary people feel they are suffering while the super rich carry on as per usual.

  Nice to see that St. Pauls have asked the police to 'move-on' and are content to have the "protesters" camped out on their steps. If it stays peaceful London will have another tourist attraction.
  Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.
