I am a banker and I work in the heart of London's financial square mile. These protests are something I will never forget for the rest of my life.

You know, the sad thing is that all those protestors don't really have a clue how economics or market movements works. They honestly do not have a clue and it breaks my heart that all you plebs who think you are doing something worthwhile by protesting about the g20 london summit are sadly mistaken.

The truth of the matter is that you SHOULD BE LISTENING TO US, THE BANKERS! It really isnt the case that we have caused an economic meltdown, it was the government and the lose criteria for market regulations.

But then you wouldnt understand that would you.

Its sad I need to remain anonmyous when I say this, but I've setup a blog for MY voice to be heard, instead of the idiots protesting. Visit it here:

Even if you dont agree with what I say, Ive put my pictures up there from the riots today (I managed to sneak a lunch break today!)

You say you needed more regulation to stop stealing all you could??
Plundering, re re-insuring and derivatives.
Stop making excuses and get a proper job creating or doing something.
No wonder you are scared to show your face.

I'm a Londoner and I'll certainly be attending (just to sample the atomosphere).
Will revoloution really be in the air or will it be a politely middle class day out in London?
The police are putting out threatening noises as some groups have assured them it WILL get messy as they've waited for the fall of unbridled greed, corruption and the opportunity to kick the City of London and Wall St 'Masters of the Universe' for a long time.
We can expect a few broken windows at best or full scale a terror attack like there was on the day of the G8 meeting in Scotland at worst!

Every year its the same thing:

"...to call on the G-20 nations to help fight poverty, inequality and climate change..."

okay... so how do you want to do this? Ohh... you want to increase the scope of government, heavily tax businesses and producers to redistribute that money to the poor, and restrict capitalism because it's too dirty for our planet...

well... we've been trying these things for decades with poor results... how do you expect people to keep going along with this mantra if you can't deliver on the goods.

Whoever is organizing this must be aware of the lack of credibility they've built up over the years.

How often do these protests work? They didn't end the Iraq war, they didn't end the war in Gaza. Howw about doing something that's actually going to make a difference?

Do you have any better ideas?

(and before it's assumed i'm an uneducated dolt, me and my friends study at the London School of Economics and Politcal Sciences - we're all doing pretty well (thankfully) and all intend to go on into jobs which hopefully will help shape the future of the world. until then, protest is all we have)
