| Ok, I'm seeing conflicting news reports about these protests/riots... What on earth is going on?
On the evening news, it said that the protestors were "Communists, Anarchists and Environmentalists." :o
Then there was some footage of a support protest in the UK, with nice old ladies from a Catholic Aid Agency. :)
This morning, I read that there was another violent protest in Rostock, where the protestors were far-right National Democrats. Another report said they were Church groups, environmental activists, cultural societies and feminists.
But the violence was started by a "hard-core" of black-clad figures (MI6 or CIA? Or is that me being paranoid?! I remember the Miners' Strikes...) :hiding:
It is unclear what everyone is protesting about, though the report I read this morning said it was about "Globalisation and Capitalism." I thought the summit was about coordinating policy on climate change and foreign policy? Surely state control of industry is a separate issue...?
Why are environmentalists campaigning against Globalisation and Capitalism? :dontknow: |
