Twitter users in London and other parts of the world speak about the current protest activities:

Some UK and US citizens are opposed to the riotous behavior:
TheSourceress (Newbury, UK) Definitely not going into london for #RTU - sorry folks. Don't want to get stuck trying to get home amidst all the crazy protest carnage.
bolish (New York) Amazed if not outraged for the G20's protest in London
warrenfree (Tamworth, England) Don't understand why the great unwashed think trashing London is a good idea? Is there such a thing as a quiet protest?
