Random Variable

Wednesday will see a good turnout from a broad cross-section of the Left (from liberals to hard-lefts). Small, but isolated damage to property. Some occupations. Heavy police presence will contain everything else.

No thousands-strong armies of disaffected youth. Not enough time has elapsed in the financial crisis for anarchist social movements to scale their size. British groups in the Left are historically unable to come together, due to the dominance of some major sectarian organisations. Without the emergence of actors than can broker or arbitrate between various groups, you will not see a larger movement. Put People First might be one such actor, but not right now.
