Perhaps a bunch of people from all walks of life having a quiet protest is a tradition of this country. Perhaps I may even agree that the boom bust of fiscal policy does not fit the international "village" that economists have been taught to pray on the alter of.

But this thread started with idiots claiming that breaking the law is a good thing.

That is what I object to.

I read some good debates on mudcat, hence I still have a browse now and then. I agree with some, disagree with others and sometimes put my view. However, the reactionary "us & them" twaddle in some comments on this thread DO remind me of The Daily Mail. the constituency may not be middle England and the subject isn't asylum seekers affecting house prices... but the vitriol and acceptance of criminal activity is frankly disturbing.

If a thread is by it's title, condoning violence and criminal activity, I have every right to blow raspberries at it. And will do.

Oh, and I will be in London on Wednesday actually. However, I will be in my office getting on with doing far more productive for the country than standing outside giving respectability for a bunch of anarchists.
