Per BBC, next week’s G20 economic summit in London might face some riotous interruptions. UK officials are calling the protests planned during meetings “unprecedented” as citizens react to the UK recession en masse.
Poverty, Muslim and Palestinian sympathizers, and climate and environmental groups plan to unite with civic action groups, peaceful demonstrators, and anarchists to disrupt the global summit and voice the people’s will in the coming days, according to the article.
London Tweeters are catching up with the momentum of the rallying cries:
