It was reassuring that the world leaders saw the need to come together and agree action. The proof will be in the pudding - and we would be fools to expect anything in the future other than hardship.
What I found really good was that no matter how hard the press and the police conveyed the message that there would be problems with demonstrations; there were only minor ones with one guy smashing a RBS window followed by a wrecking invasion of property (no doubt there were more that I didn't see). The sad thing was that those nearby didn't manage to stop this mindless emotional outburst - but they clearly tried.
It was good to see Joe Public getting involved. Let's hope this display of community involvement continues when they get home - I'm all for it !

Since then the power of the individual with the ability to transmit information about exactly what was seen has brought to focus the behaviour of both demonstrators but more important the police.
May this more open society thrive. It is important to curb the trend towards a police state.
I look forward to seeing more peaceful demonstrations here in Ulverston. It's time people started expressing their views more openly in front of those making decisions.
