Global Economic Crisis: The First Wave

re-size
10 October 2008 - Black Friday. Global stock markets crashed lower than at any other time in history. The UK government answer to halt another great depression, but this time on a global scale, was to flood the financial district with a £500 billion bailout from taxpayer's money.

Anger quickly spread, as for years Blair and Brown claimed there was no money for schools, hospitals, for the needy and vulnerable. Yet there was always money for war and now for the bankers, in what was labelled re-nationalisation of the banking system.

The anger spilled into the streets of the London financial district in the first of two waves of protest. Attempts to invade the Royal Exchange and Bank of England were quickly jumped on by police and all street protest was crushed in a show of brute force that is now becoming all too common on the streets of England.

Global Economic Crisis follows the first two protests called to oppose the taxpayer bailout of the worlds richest institutions, as the country heads towards the worst economic crisis ever recorded.
