Burn the Althingi!

Yesterday things hotted up, Angelos and I went over to the protests after work. There must have been over a thousand people there, banging drums and various noise making objects. Later in the evening, it got violent, people began stoning the Police line and two officers were seriously hurt. Their blood is on the hands of the politicians, as Hranfkell said. The Police reacted with tear gas and pepper spray but the protests carried on until the early hours again. This morning there are maybe thirty or so people gathered in front of the Althingi, with a Police line in full riot gear.

The Prime Minister of Iceland, Geir Haarde, appeared on TV last night and was defending his government's position on the whole crisis. He was of the impression that the people had voted him in, so therefore the people were still behind his party. Take a look out of the fucking window, Geir!!
