London Protests Turn Violent
The Unions staged a massive protest in London because of government spending cuts and it turned violent with the help of anarchists. If you check out all of the photographs, you'll see the protesters appear to be young. Apparently, they lack an understanding of what it really means when you run out of 'other people's money'....sort of like the Unions!

After blitz of the Ritz, it's the siege of Fortnum & Mason: Anarchists hijack the anti-cuts demo and go on rampage in central London
By Daily Mail Reporter
* Hooded anarchists throw paint and set off flares on Oxford Street
* Police targeted with missiles and light bulbs filled with ammonia
* Windows at The Ritz smashed as masked youths run wild
* Anti-capitalist smash banks and cash points in city centre rampage
* Five police officers injured in clashes, one seriously
* Labour leader Ed Miliband likens protest to anti-apartheid movement
These are the scenes in central London tonight as riot police struggle to control anti-capitalist protesters following the TUC's national demonstration against the cuts.
Violence broke out in iconic London locations after splinter groups of activists broke away from the main demonstration and spread out across the centre of the city.
The Ritz hotel and Fortnum & Mason were among the buildings targeted in the capital as groups of rampaging youths fought running battles with riot police.
Clashes look set to continue into the night, as police use containment tactics to try to bring the mob under control.
