    Protests in Spain

    20,000 massing in Madrid for the last six days, apparently as well as the youth unemployment rate, they're also disillusioned with both the Socialists and the Partido Popular (centre-right). Hard to know if the movement will stay mobilised long enough to develop into a political force, but personally, I'd expect that it'll fade away and become yesterday's news in a few weeks, well-intentioned though they may be.

    They are right too with what there at. It's crazy that more people are more disillusioned. We've seen with the story of a Premier League player with a gagging order. If he's not named the media don't get to sway public opinion much. There's something seriously wrong with this democratic system we have though despite it's flaws, it is the best system there is. It is well intentioned but as said, I'm afraid it will fade away.
