Description 2nd part: [link]
March for the Alternative- protest march in London yesterday (Saturday 26th March) against public sector cuts. Biggest mass protest since 2003.
George Osborne is the UK's Chancellor of the Exchequer and the goverment's public spending cuts are very unpopular. We have a coalition between David Cameron - Conservative- and Nick Clegg - Liberal Democrats. They said a load of lies in their campaigns- "We'll Cut the Defecit, Not the NHS". In the end the UK does need cuts because we're in so much debt and living beyond our means, so to speak, but if there are too many too quickly it could have a negative impact on our economy, stunt growth and cause lots of problems.
Not sure how it will turn out, it's rather depressing though. I saw bits of it first-hand. This is quite a cool video showing certain aspects of it: [link]

I love how you used actual current affairs, and no pairings... That's quite hard to come by! Pairings and crackiness is good and all, but it's nice to see something with actual relevance.
It is a little depressing though~ *le sigh*
More people need to write to their MPs instead of doing things like that. Violent protests aren't going to help anything DX

It is indeed a shame that so many people are obsessed with Hetalia just because of the shipping and 'hot anime guys' P:
but then, ja, it's a shame because the world is such a depressing place ._.

I agree x 100! All violence does is get on the press and give the sensible people a bad name

Ah, this looked really bad when I saw it on TV - I'm really annoyed at the people who were just there to cause trouble! They've just cast a bad light over this, and it was originally only a peaceful protest OTL
Gah, don't get me started on the political state of affairs our country is in :'D

Poor Britain XD It'll hopefully get better eventually...

I know, it's all the media ever likes to focus on >.<
It's one big mess eventually, yes, but the question is how long it will take and what long-term damage could be caused in the process...

what are thematics? o3o
yes indeed >.< lil' England is in trouble with money... it seems somehow that the whole world is in debt to itself- because although America has lent to Britain, it is also borrowing from China! XD

Sorry I learnt this vocabulary as a synonym for subject or topic. XD
I meant Hidekaz could rely on every stupid news from all over the world!
But no he has to draw some useless mochi- Arericas -.-
He lives in his little pinky shiny japanese dream which is going down
and he leaves critical -topics!- besides.Ù_Ú

That's what I like about your art!
On TV I heard about the escalation. The people were totally out of control and looked like
masked hooligan:S
And Cina waits slightly...o_O

It is really annoying u_u; but I guess it's because that's what most of his fans want to see- cute things being cute.
What you see on TV isn't true!! in total there were about 500,000 people on the march. Barely over 1000 people were violent- that's about 0.2% . the things they show you on TV and in the news are always the photos of the small violent minority because that's what they think is the most 'exciting' for people to read. It's terrible- the attention is completely off the real reason for the protest and the peaceful demonstrators DX
What's Cina?

-.- You're fussy
I forgot the "h" ;D

Well of cause they only show the "exciting" violent
scenes. Somehow they have to "satisfiy" the "needs"
of the spectators ^^
But the news cut them together as if London goes down XD
At the moment they concentrate on Japan, Liberia and the conflicts
in other arabian states and leave poor England aside.
Anyway thank you for the right informations!
