LIFFE futures exchange and riots

The London futures exchange, LIFFE, was the target of a massive demonstration that turned violent last Friday night.

Protestors who see extreme capitalism (as opposed to making a profit?!) vandalised the area surrounding the building.

This social unrest is a result of a few lunatics whipping up discontent in people who HAVE fallen through societys 'safety nets', after years of neglect under Thatcher and now Blair. Perhaps the rioters need jailed, those in need should be tended and Blair should get off his oversized ego and do something positive for the economy.

No more pound. Lower interest rates so real businesses can create REAL jobs, and an end to the tacit approval of the destruction of the Euro currency by jingoistic currency dealers!.
