I came across the Milbank protest after work, which is just across the river from where I work. I could hear them, and we all watched them ripping bits out of the Tory party lobby.

This is one slogan I saw.

The question that comes to mind with all this talk of 'fight back': against what?

Against 'Nasty Nick' Clegg? 'Ideological' cuts? Neoliberalisation of education?

Or could it be the guy that sets the low Chinese exchange rate? The aging population? The baby-boomer generation? Too many people going to Uni? Or existential angst?

Personally I go with the latter group of answers. I understand why the first group is an easier target, they at least fit on a sign.
