G20 heads up

The G20 summit in London on 2 April is likely to attract widespread protest

The BBC website has developed a special G20 homepage covering the facts and the key issues realting to next month’s summit. This can be accessed here.

I’ve already come across literature on the bus and tube advertising protest. Apparently a whole spread of groups are planning to stage events on everything from climate change to world poverty.

These may go ahead peacefully as was the case in Edinburgh in 2005. But the government and police are concerned that things could get violent and scenes such as those witnessed in Genoa and Seattle could be repeated. Expect speculation by those controlling the levers of power about the dangers posed by various anarchist and anti-capitalist groups.
