G20 meeting set to attract significant demonstrations
The forthcoming G20 meeting in London is set to attract significant interest from demonstrators around the world. It has been revealed that police forces in the UK have made the government becoming aware of significant activity within anarchist and anti-capitalist groups which could result in substantial demonstrations and possibly violence at the forthcoming G20 meeting.
This is not the first time the meeting of the leading governments around the world has attracted the attention of demonstrators and the ongoing worldwide economic crisis has intensified the situation. London will almost certainly be on red alert as the meeting approaches with significant disturbances expected as we near the big date and leaders from around the world begin to arrive in London. The G20 has a history of promising so much yet delivering so little and if recent times are anything to go by it would seem this situation could continue for some time to come.
The fact that so much has been promised and so little delivered seems to antagonise various demonstrators for what are sure to be heated discussions later this month. There are hopes that the leading governments around the world can agree on a deal to combat the recession affecting the worldwide economy but as ever the proof is in the pudding.
