Had to laugh at official comments that referred to the London protesters as "conspiracy theorists". In actual fact, protesters appear to be quite hetereogenous, made up of greens, liberals, some politicians perhaps. Surely a terrific bit of anti propaganda would be to find out how many of those protesters really do kick the bucket a week later. This is what is being claimed. My guess is none of them will fall ill on account of being in contact. This could be put to the test. There's a real need now to put these claims under hard scrutiny. It has been noted the media has given little coverage to those who protested. The term "minority" was used. A small group of conspiracy theorists apparently. 10,000 or more? What will follow? I think attempts will be made to ban protests. That is clearly on the cards given the ideals of democracy and serving the electorate has been abandoned by those in power - who show contempt for liberty. However, history shows one reality. Where protests are banned and repression used, reaction becomes extreme and revolutionary. Just as in 1917. I am hoping we can save the vestiges of democracy and accountability peacefully. It is, in fact, possible to push for change this way. However, extreme social division on a global scale is becoming a real risk.
