I think you're talking absolute rot. The poor are not getting !!!!ed off about things in the way you are saying - the Storm Wall Street movement has absolutely nothing to do with the poor. On the contrary, most of the people involved in this type of protest culture are middle class malcontents, the professional protesting class. Remember the arrests during similar protests in London two years ago - it was the son of a rockstar who was sent to prison, not your poor disaffected poor. The poor, as you quaintly call them, are too busy working to be protesters.

And to compare those protests with the Arab Spring is an afront to those who are fighting for basic political freedoms and human rights in oppressive dictatorships around the Middle East; it's nothing to do with people protesting against the banks.

I think you need to think a bit more, before you post.

Perhaps poor was an incorrect term but whether it be against the financial institutions in the West, or against dictators in the Middle East, people are now protesting and fighting for fairness and more equality. They are tired of working/living in a situation where they are being controlled by the very very few and are now starting actions to try and put the agendas on the table and bring change. Even Gilmour and the middle class, despite not being on the 'average wage' or minimum wage are part of the 99% and not the obscenely rich 1% or dictators with the decision making powers.

You think you missed it? You can't really remember?

Describe a typical day for yourself and I'll let you know if there's any chance you attended but simply got it confused with other stuff.
It was great BTW.

As a child of the 1960's I know what they say: "If you can remember, you weren't really there".

Keith Richards...........mumble mumble

But that was before the 1970's credit crunch.

£3,999 for a brand new 2 bed flat, you must be joking?
Nah mate, this is Hampton - very convenient for the airport.
