Financial Fools Day

Today in London the leaders of the G20 nations have joined together to fix the financial system but many saw this was a perpetuation of the current global financial system so they took to the streets. The following is a video of today's events outside of the Bank of England on what thousands of activists have called Financial Fools Day. There have been several clashes with police and as I am writing this post the protests have continued. This is a expected to be a smaller rally then the ones we can expect tomorrow and the next day when the leaders all sit together to hatch out a solution. French President Nicholas Sarkozy has mentioned that he may walk out of the meetings if stricter financial regulations are not adopted. From what I have heard, London and the UK is a hot bed of anger and activism as the island nation has lost much prestige and wealth in the past years and decades.
