“Making use of a product made by a corporation doesn't mean you condone their behaviour. Also, the fact that these products are used suggests that the protesters support a society in which we have the technology, skills and resources available to make them.
It's like saying that by having sex you condone rape.

While we can reason on the details, it is simply nitpicking... the fact is what I mentioned earlier about the rising taxes and cuts on spending. Meaning we pay more and have less both personally and as a community. If you're happy with that - then thats great, and good for you.

The economy may be stabilised, for a while, but it will fail... Regardless of political parties... it is a self destructive system, meaning we need to forget about stabilising and bailouts and concentrate on a new economic and social system that benefits everyone equally. Which is positive, right? Labour/Conservative... whatever! They're all puppets and its the same bankers, the same corporations the same 1% elite that pull the strings!!

As I said earlier I don't have the answers or the perfect solution, but I do support a cause that brings people together to display our disdain at the current system, and suggest alternatives. I'd rather try and be part of the solution than sit back and let another corrupt government 'promise' to sort it out for me. Which, by going on track record, isn't likely to happen! I don't understand why people would oppose this to the point of violence.

We need to stop dividing ourselves about which political party did it, stop finger pointing, assigning blame to past PMs and stop hoping that someone else will fix it for us.

The slogan of the 99% against the 1% is applicable, and collectively we have more intellect and more power than politicians, bankers and corporations.. we have the ability to do great things for our country, once we realise the system is broken and it's going to take some effort from each and every one of us to change it.

“Well said Lewis_2S2233: The conservatives are trying to sort out the financial mess that, once again, a Labour goverment has left us in. Time after time in living memory this has been the case.
Moving on to the anti-capitalist protests, they organise on facebook, organise on mobile phone networks, sleep in designer tents, buy their food supplies in supermarkets. They are supporting the capitalist system all the time! The hypocracy is astounding!
Its also interesting to note that there has been a backlash against protesters in Greece. Counter demo's and violence has flared up between groups who are sick and tired of these communist agitators. Lets hope somebody opposes these 'revolutionaries' over here.”

“Right time to stick my proverbial oar in on this one....

Dear whatsallowed & RussellJack

I am a 25 year old employed male who has put myself through university, and have been employed for the last 9 years in some way or another, and have never claimed a single benifit in my entire life.

So why is it that I come on here and find people like you assuming that I am a "benifit cheat" and am not "fit to breathe the same air as you" and must also be a "clown"?

To be honest I am a little surprised that you have taken your eyes away from your Daily Mail long enough to read these comments, let alone the article. I am going to go to this protest because I am not happy in a world where a teenager who has nothing becasue of the vast rate of unemployment and lack of qualifications because our education and social systems have told him he is worth nothing as a human being, is given a prison sentance for stealing a bottle of water. Yet a miilionaire businessman is allowed to embezzle millions to ac***ilate a personal wealth and because he has freinds in the right places and gets nothing more than a slap on the wrist. These 2 people have both commited a crime, yet 1 is harshly punished and the other is allowed to continue until he gets caught again.

No, I am not poor so I do not suffer the most injustice, but as a human being with a moral compass, I cannot allow things like these to happen, I'm not saying I want a brand new car and phone, but simply that everyone has the right to exsist on an equal par, and shouldnt have to make the choice between heat and food.

I eagerly await your response.

Regards.”

“If you had taken the time to read some earlier comments, you would have known that I have been in full time employment for over 8 years. Actually, for the past 10 years I have only been out of work for about 3 weeks.

If you had taken the time to read the news article, you would have known that this is not about benefits but actually about capitalism and money hungry, greed corporations having our country by the nuts. Not helped by our fiat currency in an economic system that is sure to fail.

I do not, nor have I ever claimed benefits.

Could you please explain why you presume that people protesting against capitalism in order to try and bring about a change resulting in a fair, balanced economic system are automatically benefit cheats who don't deserve to breathe the same air as you?

Maybe up there on your pedestal the air is better, but I think you need to come down for a bit, because you've made yourself seem like nothing more than an ignorant fool in public. Well done.”

“workshy benefit cheats in council or housing association property each and every one of them - they shouldn't even breathe the same air as me................”

“It will be interesting to see home many turn up and if their benefits were stopped, I would expect a zero turn out by these clowns.”

“Lewis... No problem, I will always be willing to discuss things and listen to other peoples point of view. Its fine to disagree with me, I just feel that everyone will be affected by future events and its important to rally together for change when you feel something is wrong.
Personally I work full time in a job that (for the foreseeable future at least!!) is stable. But I am going to stand for my own freedoms and rights to protest my displeasure with the way the country is being run and also to stand by and represent the unfortunate people that the 'suicidal' monetary system in a capitalist state has left in a far worse state than me. Maybe it won't change anything at all, but like I said - i feel I have a moral obligation to speak out when I feel that something is wrong. I just can't sit back and watch bankers and corporations destroy us!

As far as trouble, well - I hope that nothing bad happens too. And too anyone reading considering coming; If you're looking for a violent protest, or somewhere to kick off, don't bother turning up! People like that do nothing to help, and will only draw negative attention, they should be singled out by the majority of us peaceful protestors and be asked to chill or go home.

I agree with your last point, and change is required both at a corporate banker level, government level and a personal level. The change required should bring about an fair, balanced and equal system where no-one should have to starve to death, sleep on the streets, die from the cold in their own homes. We are the 99% and we do need to look after each other as we are all being made to suffer in this self destructive system together. I just think that maybe if things we to change in this way, it would be of benefit to everyone - me and you and everyone else. And while you may not agree with the idea, you have to agree that the result could be better than the way things are now.”
