Danged Middle-Class
fear us.
[London] Police are preparing for a “summer of rage” as victims of the economic downturn take to the streets to demonstrate against financial institutions,
...Both “extreme rightwing and extreme leftwing” elements are looking to “use the fact that people are out of jobs” to galvanise support, [said Superintendent David Hartshorn, who heads the Metropolitan police’s public order branch].
...Hartshorn said he also expected large-scale demonstrations this year on environmental issues, with hardcore green activists “joining forces” with middle-class campaigners over issues such as airport expansion at Heathrow and Stansted. With the prospect of angry demonstrations against the economy, that could open the door to powerful coalitions.
“All you’ve got to do then is link in with the environmentalists, and look at the oil companies. They’re seen to be turning over billions of pounds profit in issues that are seen to be against the environment."
uhm, yeah.
