"Seize the time"...

This is exactly what anti globalisation activists plan to do on saturday in London. Thousands of demonstrators including anarchists are going to flood the heart of the city to protest against financiers who are blamed for dragging the economy into recession.
They are hoping to promote an 'anti fatcat' climate amongst those afected the most by the finiancial state of Britain. The protest is against the financial system.
Some of the groups have been making the point that whilst people are losing their jobs whilst fat cat bank bosses still get to keep their gross bonus payments. I have to say I agree with them.
With the G20 summit arriving in London on the 2nd of the demonstrators are using it as an oppertunity to gather together a large amount of people and make a difference.
Some people think that the demonstrations will be overshadowed by riots and violence and are urging people not to go down there as their attempts to change things for the good will only be linked with the violence of the riots.
Police have already made plans in order to keep the protests under control and keep damages to a minimum.
