Gotta love Europe, when they are pissed about the economy they march in the streets. In fact, on Obama’s first presidential trip to London, he was greeted by 35,000 angry protestors. I guess the honeymoon is over.

I thought one of the most interesting protesters slogans was “burn the bankers,” well tell us how you really feel.

The Guardian Reports:

The Put People First march yesterday was organised by a collaboration of more than 100 trade unions, church groups and charities including Action Aid, Save the Children and Friends of the Earth. The theme was “jobs, justice and climate” and the message was aimed at the world leaders who will be gathering for the G20 summit here this week.

The marchers, estimated at 35,000 by police, accompanied by brass bands and drummers and a colourful assortment of banners and flags, walked the four miles from Embankment to Hyde Park, where speeches from comedian Mark Thomas and environmental campaigner Tony Juniper, and music from the Kooks, made for a party-like atmosphere.

A group of fewer than 200 anarchists joined the march and were kept isolated and surrounded by police. Chants of “Burn the bankers!” were the closest anyone came to any show of aggression despite a heavy police presence and a few buildings along the route, including the Ritz Hotel, boarding up their windows. As protesters passed the gates of Downing Street, there were chants and shouts of “Enjoy the overtime”.

Thomas told the Observer he believed the protest marked “the start of a grassroots movement”. He added: “This is a moment. This is the first time people have had a chance to come out on to the streets in a big way.”

As they say, with every dark cloud, is a silver lining. Hopefully, our world leaders will get together and stop the nasty greed from Wall Street. Everyone deserves to have a decent lifestyle. Instead of people like Bernie Madoff, who take advantage of people, and spends their life savings on yachts and $7 million dollar penthouses.

Lets hope the global summit will bring a solution to the world’s problems.
