globalistation topics. To go up tomorrow at some point.

The content bit could be extended with reports from the demos in Wall  
Street a couple of weeks ago, but couldn't find any.in imcuk. Were

Capitalism isn’t in crisis; capitalism IS crisis!

ABSTRACT:
<p>
As financial <a  
href="http://www.schnews.org.uk/archive/news649.htm">markets continue  
to slump</a> around the world, several hundred people gathered in the  
City of London on Friday 10th to voice their anger over the British  
governments plan to <a href="/en/2008/10/410314.html">commit over 50  
billion GBP</a> of public funds to shore up 'confidence' in British  
markets.
</p>
<p>
Following a series of calls [<a href="/en/2008/10/410249.html">1</a> |  
<a href="/en/2008/10/409979.html">2</a>] that had been circulated in  
different websites and forums, angry students and activists meet in the  
late afternoon outside Bank tube station at the heart of the City of  
London. The demonstrators soon moved on to the prestige shopping centre  
(The Royal Exchange) which they attempted to storm, and then moved  
towards the Bank of England but were quickly repulsed by police. They  
then went on a tour of nearby streets, often pushing through police  
lines that seemed to be quite unprepared for the unfolding protest.  
Eventually there was a sit-down as the protesters reached Bishopsgate,  
and finally a short rally with speeches that took place on the corner  
of London Wall and Bishopsgate, after which the demonstrators slowly  
dispersed.
