G8

Post by wllsp »

What I like about the G8 summit in Germany is that the police actually let a lot of protesters arrive in the country. Clearly it would be easier for them to guard the summit without a lot of troublemakers in the streets.

When we had the summit in Saint-Petersburg we did't have that sort of freedom. Bad legacy of the USSR, I guess. The authority doesn't like people especially when they dare to disobey.
