Oke deh, kalo emang demen yang basi-basi ya mau bilang apa.
Yang penting isinya tentang kerusuhan (di Arab), ya kan plik?
Padahal, deket-deket situ Sabtu kemarin juga ada huru-hara.
Tapi karena pelakunya orang-orang bule jadinya situ cuma mlongo..
Catatan:
Makanya jangan ngloco melulu setiap ada kesempatan.
Hayalanmu kelewat gawat kalo nyangka ngloco bisa ilangin
ketombe.
Ya jelas salah sangka dong..

France24 - Sporadic clashes erupt as thousands protest cuts
Sporadic clashes with police erupted in London on Saturday as a quarter of a
million people marched to protest against proposed budgets cuts that will
include the elimination of 300,000 public service jobs and pay freezes for
civil servants.

AFP - Masked rogue protesters battled police and occupied a top London food
store on Saturday, overshadowing a peaceful march by more than a quarter of a
million Britons against government spending cuts.
In the biggest rally in the capital since protests against the Iraq war in
2003, adults and children joined a demonstration called by unions against the
Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition's austerity measures.
But police said 157 people were arrested and 35 people were injured when a
small group of "criminals" split off from the main protest and rampaged through
the capital's commercial district smashing up shops and banks.
"I think it's a game of two halves. Two hundred and fifty thousand people came
to central London and protested peacefully," said Commander Bob Broadhurst of
Scotland Yard, who led the police operation.
"But what we have had unfortunately is a group of criminals, nothing to do with
that march, have decided to on their own steam attack buildings in central
London and attack police officers," he told Sky News.
Several hundred black-clad protesters covering their faces with scarves
attacked shops and banks and hurled fireworks, petrol bombs and paint at
police, AFP reporters saw.
Clothes store Topshop and banks HSBC and Lloyds had their windows smashed,
while some protesters hurled missiles at London's landmark Ritz Hotel. Others
lit a bonfire at Oxford Circus, in the heart of the shopping district.
A group of protesters occupied luxury food store Fortnum and Mason and sprayed
graffiti on the building and police surrounded the building, saying they were
treating the area as a crime scene.
UK Uncut, a group running a campaign against government cuts and corporate tax
avoidance, accused the store's owners of tax-dodging.
Five police officers and 30 members of the public were wounded in the violence,
with 16 people including one police officer needing hospital treatment,
Scotland Yard said.
It said there were 157 arrests for public order offences, criminal damage,
aggravated trespass and violent disorder. About 4,500 police officers were
deployed for the protest.
Several British student demonstrations descended into chaos last year, with one
culminating in protesters damaging the car carrying heir-to-the-throne Prince
Charles and his wife Camilla.
The violent end to Saturday came after the peaceful rally which organisers the
Trades Union Congress (TUC) said was attended by between 250,000 and 300,000
people.
Public sector workers, students and pensioners waving signs which read "Don't
Break Britain" and "No to Cuts" thronged the streets of the capital.
Many families with children were among the protesters and the air was filled
with the low-pitched bellow of the vuvuzela, the plastic trumpet whose droning
provided the soundtrack for the football World Cup in South Africa.
TUC chief Brendan Barber said he "bitterly regretted" the violence.
"I don't think the activities of a few hundred people should take the focus
away from the hundreds of thousands of people who have sent a powerful message
to the government today," he said.
The march started by the river Thames, passed the Houses of Parliament and
Prime Minister David Cameron's Downing Street residence before ending in a
rally in Hyde Park addressed by opposition Labour Party leader Ed Miliband.
"Our struggle is to fight to preserve, protect and defend the best of the
services we cherish because they represent the best of the country we love,"
Miliband told the rally.
It was the largest protest in London since one million people marched against
the Iraq war in February 2003.
After coming to power in May, the coalition announced cuts worth £81 billion
($131 billion, 92 billion euros) over five years in order to slash a record
public deficit it blames on the previous Labour government.
The cuts involve most government departments, with the loss of 300,000 public
service jobs and pay freezes for civil servants.
