Over 200 people were arrested as extremists brought violent chaos to central London yesterday after hijacking the much-heralded trade union protest against public spending cuts.
A massive clear-up operation was underway today after trouble continued to flare late into the night as hundreds of people clashed with officers in Trafalgar Square.
Police confirmed 201 people were in custody and there had been 84 reported injuries during the protests. At least 31 police were hurt with 11 of them requiring hospital treatment.

There have always been (and always will be) anarchists in most British protests.
There are a smaller piece of the protest pie.
IMO, these protests in London are only one of many that have recently happened and will happen in other countries.
As more of these "austerity" cuts take place, there will be more of them (including in the US, IMO, although Americans tend to be much more passive in expressing their displeasure).
The governments of the many nations are aware of this and they are preparing (including the US government).

Good for them. If I had to subscribed to an ideology, I think I would go with anarchism. Not because I want to riot and listen to shitty punk music, but because I am a selfish bastard who does what I want as long as i think I can get away with it.
“I used to do drugs. I still do drugs. But I used to, too.”

I heard it on the news today that the police are to get extra powers to deal with this kind of thing.
Hold on a mo, riots, protests, rulers of the land giving more power, one word springs to mind Lybia.
If we do this to our own then why not get Lybia to attack our government, sounds fair to me.
Always believe.
