Banks and rebellion

I had a wee appointment at Drummonds Bank. When I got there a notice the size of a postage stamp told me that for the good of my health the bank was shut. It was 9.30 and unknown to me Trafalgar square was to be swarmed with rebellious types who would later have a set too with police and one would be killed. This took me back to 1990 when I missed the Poll Tax riots when a friend got hit on the head by a brick luckily he met me later. The man died of internal bleeding from a thuggish police assault...the policeman responsible has been suspended and he could be charged with murder/manslaughter....the sad irony was the man killed was not in the protest, he was just wandering past.
