Seventeen people have been arrested following clashes with police during an unplanned anti-austerity protest close to Downing Street, the Met police said.
Hundreds of anti-government protesters, some holding placards reading "I pledge to resist" and "Stop the cuts", took part in the rally on Saturday, which began outside Conservative Party headquarters.
Ch Supt Gerry Campbell said the "vast majority" of protestors had taken part peacefully, but added that a "small minority" had been intent on causing disorder.
One student journalist who was at the scene told the BBC:
"There were thousands of people out there to protest against five years of Tory rule, which is going to see more cuts, more privatisation and more austerity - and one person's action should not represent that."
In Cardiff, about 200 people joined a similar rally against austerity

seems it was organised on Facebook and they posted this............................................................
1. If you see a Tory, pin a rosette on them so we know who to kick in the street. 2. Never shake hands with a Tory. 3. Never buy or accept a drink from a Tory. 4. If one of your friends is a Tory, de-friend them and encourage your other friends to do the same. 5. If you meet a Tory in public, name and shame them. 6. If you know a Tory at work, start a campaign to get them fired from their job. 7. If your boss or teacher is a Tory, expose them to your colleagues and demand they leave their post on the grounds of moral incompetence. 8. Refuse to work for a Tory or, if that jeopardises your livelihood, sabotage the benefits they gain from your work (piss in their soup, overcharge them at the checkout, poor [sic] sugar in their petrol tank, sow salt on their garden, saw through supporting structures, etc.) 9. Never ever show respect for the property of a Tory . . . 10. Don’t engage with Tory trolls on social media. If they don’t understand the fundamental obscenity of their beliefs you’re wasting your time. 11. Stop reading or watching Tory-backed media and entertainment that depicts the working classes as competing monkeys obsessed with celebrity and fame. 12. The 24% of the electorate that voted Tory are our Enemy. They support a minority government that is waging a violent economic and ideological War against us, and we must fight back! 13. The wealthiest 20% of our population is 10 times richer than the poorest 20%. It is they, along with the class traitors (cops, city boys, estate agents, etc), that make up the Tory electorate. 14. Exacerbate, at every opportunity, the opposition between Them and Us. 15. Scratch a Liberal and they’ll bleed Tory (see the comments below). 16. This is Civil War. as usual The Socialist Worker were the agitators |

Austerity doesnt affect these twats at all anyway..they are all just spoilt upper class rich kids who just want to rebel against mummy and daddy

If a "Tory" was to create that prejudiced list of hate and replaced every occurence of Tory with Socialist, the lefties would burst a blood vessel in how bad it was.
"8. Refuse to work" For the demononstrators, the rest of that sentence is probably redundant  . |

The sad thing is there are a people out there who would agree with that list, the scumbags in this country are the hard left and right.
But I can't remember the last time the "right" rioted or tried to intimidate opposing politicians or stop them speaking, the lunatic left do it on a regular basis. |

"Hundreds of anti-government protesters"
I would have thought the Millions of UK Residents who did Not vote Tory are protesting against the Government, They certainly did Not support them. |

It's funny how when the results were read out in constituencies these crusty bone idle spotty cnunts usually had a candidate and they got about seven votes. I'm no Tory but if they are that upset send em up to Caithness and we can have a chat about it.

Despite its statistical win the new Conservative government, like the coalition before it, will still face a crisis of public political authority.
It can hardly claim a popular mandate to represent the will of the people, most of whom either did not vote for it or did so to stop Labour and the SNP. Turnout in this election reached 66 per cent, up slightly on 2010 (65.1 per cent). Yet that still makes 2015 the fourth lowest since 1918. Indeed, the four lowest turnouts have been in the past four General Elections. In real terms, this means that Cameron’s Tories won the support of only around 24 per cent of all those who could have voted. |

I'm sure as Cameron is driven down the Mall in his bullet proof Bentley, sipping a 50 year old single malt, puffing on a fat Cuban and thinking ahead to the millions he'll make on the lecture circuit post office he'll be positively distraught about that democratic deficit sid.

Tells you a lot about Alias when he sides with those who wrote that list.
BTW that might have been taken from the SNPs manifesto. Jackboot politics. |
