Anti-austerity - my ass. These May Day riots go back for years now (before the recession was a twinkle in a banker’s eye). They are a part of the Police's annual calendar.

You liberal pinko you. Surely N Gusset should simply be shot in the back of the head without trial for having the temerity to post a link like that on here

One group privileged, the other with regard to the London riots often dirt poor. Very different circumstances in fact. Sometimes demonstrations are valid, other times not. We have to be careful in how we deem they should be policed though, because if one thing so we can be sure of it's that the same level of enforcement will be used for both kinds.

Sad sad muppets.Demonstrating like spoiled children because the Tories got in. No doubt the SNP anti unionists morons will be wining soon with their 1.5 million votes out of 5 million Scots.

Neither were demonstrating and that's the point.

Obviously not the exact same people, but the same sort of idiots with no real agenda who get involved. We know the London riots didn't just involve black youths and rapidly lost all connection to the Duggan shooting. The posh girl from Orpington springs to mind and of course the tuition fee protesters who'd just get a few grand less of their wealthy parents' money for drink and drugs. The dead giveaway is the kids daubed in anarchy symbols.

People have a democratic right to protest against whatever they want.
These demos just appear to have no real meaning. They appear to be an excuse for the usual suspects to have a go and cause some damage. The defacing of the war memorial with the words 'die Tory scum' hardly deflects from this.
