The Gleneagles Protests: Dealing With Blair's Police State
Blair called police from all over the UK to Scotland to police around the g8 summit in the largest police action in UK history. As millions were spent defending a few small fences from relatively peaceful protesters and the UK media hyped a few rocks thrown (with no substantial property damage or injuries) by locals at police in Edinburgh as the largest riot in 200 years, actual violence took place in London as bombs went off on the subways and a bus was also blown up. Blair has shown that keeping keeping voices of dissent from Bush and Putin is more important than protecting the people of London.
