Worst Riot Ever!

As they seemed to be the pivot on which most of the news turned I decided to go a see what was happening with the Mayday protests and to be honest they were rubbish. Around 80-100 people assembled on the triangle outside the Royal Exchange with a sound system and a barbecue, there was some dancing, some flag waving and some outrageous costumes before everyone went home after about an hour. Even the FIT looked bored letting there cameras flop to the ground as if to say they'd already photographed everybody four times and clearly nothing was going to happen.

To be fair it was always going to be difficult to mobilize people just four weeks after the G20 protests especially as the Climate Campers were absorbed in a post event sulk. For the life of me though I can't understand why they chose to locate the protest at the Bank of England when the Baby P trial was coming to a conclusion in the Aldwych area.
