Protests expected at next week's G20 Summit
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:
kelly_iscool getting excited about the chaos predicted at the G20 this weekend. Bankers are being told to go to work disguised as poor people!!
davidjstringer RT @delineator catch-22 for the bankers next week, wear a suit get harassed by #g20 protesters, wear a hoodie get harassed by the police
Other Tweeters in London are just dealing with logistics of a global summit in town:

Ireland's Naked Prime Minister
The BBC reports the Garda (Irish police service) are investigating to see if a crime has been committed by the artist.
Irish twitterers were quick to jump into the debate:
@RTEcraic (Ireland) Guerilla artist hangs nude Cowen paintings: Nude paintings of Taoiseach Brian Cowen were snuck into two of Dubli.. http://tinyurl.com/cozo2m
@phil_revahealth (Dublin, Ireland) Did you see the "well hung" paintings of Brian Cowen on RTE News? That sub editor deserves an award! http://short.ie/kpikx8 (Click on [2])
@AndrewParnell (Dublin, Ireland) HIlarous - look away now if you don't want to see Brian Cowen naked. http://bit.ly/vxrk
@sineadgleeson (Dublin, Ireland) Wondering who painted those naked pictures of Brian Cowen and snuck them into two galleries? http://tiny.cc/EyZap
@JamesCarroll09 To be a bit more philosophical on Twitter - what do you all think of the picture in the National Gallery of Brian Cowen? Bit crass+sad??
@ananelson (Dublin, Ireland) Never thought I would have reason to google "naked taoiseach".
