They're trying to kick off!

A few feisty protestors are trying to start fights with police at the G20 marches.

Things have been thrown and there are stories of bloody protestors walking around.

It would be odd if there weren't a few clashes to be honest, but the general feeling is not a scary one.

Nonetheless it's probably going to get worse tonight and tomorrow.

Haven’t seen any ‘BANK BOSSES ARE CRIMINALS’ banners yet.

Bankers hanging from lampposts

Chris Knight, the professor who suggested there'd be bankers hanging from lampposts, has been suspended from his job.

The University of East London academic has been threatening a backlash against 'the establishment' during the G20 next week.

Knight told the Mail: 'We intend to be peaceful but if they press their nuclear button, I'll press mine. It's called "mutually assured destruction".

'If Gordon Brown deploys his riot police, or sends in his agents provocateurs to start trouble as an excuse to attack us, all hell will break loose.'

For years the likes of Knight have been waiting for the moment when they could stick two fingers up at people who said the far left was obsolete.

They'll have their moment in the sun, but the G20 demos will be an anti climax.

Is "Bank Bosses Are Criminals" the start of civil-unrest?

While bank-bosses were hiding beneath their bed covers this morning Lobbydog was trying to remember something someone said last year.

The someone was the IMF's managing director, Dominique Strauss-Kahn.

The something was him saying western nations would face civil unrest as the economic crisis deepened.

It would be interesting to know if the Government had foreseen the emergence of something like "Bank Bosses Are Criminals".

I want to know what more ministers think might happen - what have they planned for?

Bank Bosses Are Criminals

...is apparently the name of the group that attacked Fred the Shred's house last night.

I knew people were peeved, but the organised feel to the whole thing has taken me a bit by surprise.

An e-mail sent out by the group read:

"We are angry that rich people, like him, are paying themselves a huge amount of money, and living in luxury, while ordinary people are made unemployed, destitute and homeless.

"This is a crime. Bank bosses should be jailed.

"This is just the beginning."

So who is next? My money is on Andy Hornby - when I saw him in the select committee he looked like he'd have a mental breakdown if you said "boo" to him.
