Police are getting ready for anarchist riots

Thousands of hardcore anarchists and activists from across Europe are set to come together in London today it has been reported, as fears grow that protests over the G20 summit will erupt into violence.

Security forces have identified notorious groups from France, Germany and Italy whose members are mobilising more supporters in a bid to create chaos on the streets of the capital as the world's leaders meet.

Many of the agitators are arriving today after a week of anarchist strikes in Italy, according to the Evening Standard.

French police are warning their British counterparts that at least 1,000 activists are on their way to London, with members of the Anarch-Autonomist being particularly active in their preperations, according to reports.

From Germany three groups are expected to make the journey, including ANTIFA - an anti-fascist group.

And in Italy the Guerrigilieri Anomali (Anomalous Warriors) are planning to target symbols of wealth in London.

The Met police was also warning that groups associated with the Poll Tax riots of 1990 were reforming to create a new wave of carnage.

An anarchist group has already taken over a disused pub in East London as an HQ, according to the Standard.

The Convergence Crew appear to have chosen the former pub in Shoreditch because of its proximity to the City, which is likely to be the focal point for demonstrations on Wednesday of this week.

Buildings in London have already been boarded up and debris cleared from street works and building sites to minimise the potential for damage.

Well, well, well...there are still anarchists in the world, and it is not surprising that they are in Europe. What about their cousins, the nihilists, do they still exist?

And London will be invaded by the black shirts...how nice! It will be interesting to see what constructive ideas the anarchists come up with to deal with the problems of the world, or are they just there to destroy?

Perhaps more importantly Canada is trying to keep the honourable Mr. Galloway from entering the Great White North.

Mmmmm why hold it in London...all the disruption will cost a fortune, so they have taken over a disused pub near the city....why are they not rounded up and thrown out of the country....trouble could well be looming,they should be holding the meeting in some building in Norfolk in the middle of nowhere.

And you can keep old Galloway in the Great White North if you like tilo....don't think he will be missed this end.
