addersljLondon was a little quieter than normal over lunch. Some kids have obviously skipped school as a result of the protests and were wandering around in little gangs of school uniforms. The strangest shops had been boarded up. Mobile phone shops? Fair enough. Whittards? Well, all that 'exploitation' of tea pickers and coffee growers might be cause for concern. Argos? Why Argos?
A couple of policemen lingered outside the offices of Janes, the defence magazine publishers just up the road from us who are on the hitlist. And, for an hour's wandering, that's all I saw. The BBC claims 30 people protesting on Oxford Street and a couple of hundred down Holborn way, but all seems quiet. Maybe the heart has gone out of the anti-capitalist movement?
