I was (trying) for a little irony. None of the above occured but it seems that the media has lead some in the states and elsewhere to believe it was far worse. There were around 80 odd arrests, with I am to believe less charges brought. That's less that during carnival time!
Well, no actually, some of it occurred. There were violent protestors and police in riot gear but I’ve had my say about them. As for the media I trust them even less than I trust the government or any other power structure. I’ve learned to rely on them for only the big, most basic of facts, never the little details or even the medium sized ones it all agenda driven - just like life itself.

As for closing the tubes and buses, we have bendy ones in London which apparently cannot deal with the snow. And for the tubes it's always the 'wrong' type of snow - too wet - too dry - too goldilocksandthethreebears. And we cannot get a firetruck down a road without issues, so a snowplough isn't gonna happen! And seriously - the government isn't going to waste it's money when it only snows every handful of years... it saves it for more pressing things. Like banks. And Jaqui Smiths hubbys porn bill.
Well, if you don’t want to keep a few plows handy then this here Yankee reserves the right to chuckle at you any time an inch of snow shuts you down – just as it is my God given right to chuckle at my Southern countrymen whenever it happens to them.
