What would your G20 banner say ?

I read in the Grauniad that there will be a lot of protestors during the G20 summit next week.

I'm concerned that some of the banners/effigies might be rather predictable or dull.

Maybe we can help :p

What would you suggest on a banner ?

I think handing out free Broon IOUs printed on each sheet of a toilet roll would be useful.

    What about a placard saying "My government spent a hundred billion dollars and all I got was this lousy sign."

    Or how about "Robert Peston Ate My Hamster".

    Don't know why the Peston one, but it would look funny if you saw it on the news.

    "Distressed Banker; bonus much reduced. Any financial contribution welcome"

    That, with a smart suit, copy of the FT under one's arm should be enough to incense things....

    probably this gem from the past from the prime ministers office website will do.
    Mine is the first generation able to contemplate the possibility that we may live our entire lives without going to war or sending our children to war. That is a prize beyond value and this agreement is a great contribution to it.

    so much for the nonsense that comes out of the govt.

    That would be quite a big banner Bubblesmoney. You'd be very tired at the end of the day's protesting. :)

    I have no idea what I'd go for....being as indecive as I am I'd probably start the day with quite a few messages printed on ballons, and let go of them as I got more tired, grumpy and less commited to the respective causes :o Then worry about the environmental impact of released balloons
