    Well, water is still the hot topic but they could be protesting about anything. How do these people find the time and money to attend all these protests?

    I think it was Eirigi that pulled this stunt before, likely them or similar again. They need a bit of attention to validate their existence every now and again.

    Its so wrong that a hand full of pseudo-communists can grind the capital city to a halt.

    The water protestors, who I support once they are not engaging in criminal or threatening behaviour, are sensible people that have just had enough of what they regard, with some justification, as this government's bullying tactics and double dealing. They usually arrange their protests on weekends so as to avoid causing annoyance to commuters.

    I think as other posters said, it is much more likely this is the Eirigi mob or similar rentamobs.

    From their point of view, at best they won't register at worst they'll undermine their own cause.

    These people are alienating the general public by making life difficult for those who have to work for a living.

    Totally agree but that'll result in the Guards getting the blame for being bullies.

    If a couple of sh*theads don Guy Fawkes masks & bring the city to a standstill, the cop who drags them off the road & thumps their skull would be a hero of the people.

    I would love it if that was the case but I disagree in all honesty. You would have videos on youtube etc, claiming that the police were "attacking" peaceful protesters.
