Is the Revolution coming to the UK? Thousands crowd central London

[His Highness the TibetanMonkey, the Beach Cruiser Philosopher]

At this pace we will have one in America pretty soon. Well, we don't
have a strong man like in Arab world. We just suffer from entrenched
elites and a Globalization that makes the rich richer and the poor
poorer. Don't worry, we can scream all we want.

LONDON – Tens of thousands of mostly peaceful demonstrators streamed
into central London on Saturday to march against government budget
cuts, with a small breakaway group smashing its way into a bank,
breaking windows and spray painting logos on the walls.

And if it ain't the bike revolution who cares anyway.

There is a budding Uncut movement in the US. The left wing "tea
party".

That's true. But their revolution is all about taxes and the price of
gas.

They'll only rebel when the gallon hits 8 bucks. And they are OK with
borrowing from China.

The weird thing about the London events is that some of the very young
people involved seem to have similar ideas to those some of us held in
1968. I make no judgement. I am one of those rare birds who have not
gone from left to right but from rabid left to very pale pink.

Isn't this the right revolution?

Or it simply says nothing to avoid a commitment? I'm in a permanent
state of revolution, and I know the institutions are in need of
change. Leave the Constitution. Forget about Che and Mao. Ride a bike
or bus and switch the priorities from the car.

One cyclist I approached yesterday said avoiding commitment, "You must
change yourself first." And I replied, "We do by riding a bike, but we
are under constant attack from the institutions. We must do what it
takes to survive."

INDIVIDUALISM has grown to alarming levels since 1968 judging by the
SUVs and Gated Communities found almost everywhere. Funny, the virus
is not everywhere, and a Canadian from Montreal tells me that they
making great advance in bike facilities and that they have no Gated
Communities.

I tell you, the revolution to me means first of all no Gated
Communities, regulated SUVs and great bike and public transportation
infrastructure. We can also say Curitiba, Brazil, is going through a
Revolution because it changes the reality of transportation, not
Venezuela. The latter is like America: CHEAP GAS FOR THE MASSES or you
lose the reelections.
